How does the plugin work?
The plugin automatically deletes old orders (orders older than 30 months by default, customizable in Settings). It uses the Action Scheduler to schedule the deletion. Every hour it checks if any order is older than 30 days (or specified in settings). Then it deletes 10 orders in an hour if there are so many old orders. So, you won’t be facing timeout in case of large number of orders.
You can see the tasks in Tools > Scheduled Actions, search for “wc_delete_old_orders_process”.
Settings
In the WooCommerce > Settings > General, you can set how many months old orders you want to get automatically deleted.
That’s all. If you like this plugin, checkout my other plugins.
I’m using the plugin, but it only deletes 3 orders per action.
How should I delete all orders for these 3 months?
Hi Carlos, if you have so many old orders, the PHP script will time out before it could delete all order at once. Maybe you can just run the process in a 5 minutes interval than in a day?
Hope that will help!

Hi Julian, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, it’s hard to debug without details on the booking plugin you’re using.
