If you are trying to clean up your inventory view, you might notice that some items can't be deleted right away. You won’t be able to delete branding items from your warehouse inventory if they’re still linked to active orders, listed in an incoming inventory shipment, or used in your active branding presets.
To delete an item, it needs to meet all of the requirements below.
1. The item is out of stock
If you still have stock:
- Wait until the items sell out naturally, or
- Get in touch with our Support Team to remove your inventory.
2. The item isn’t reserved in an order
Check that the item isn’t part of any orders with the status:
- "Waiting for Fulfillment"
- "Being Fulfilled"
- "On Hold"
- "Draft"
If it is, you’ll need to wait for the order to be completed or cancel the order before deleting the item.
3. The item active in a branding preset
If you have set up a branding preset with the product you'd like to delete from your inventory, you'll need to remove it first.
- Go to your Printful Dashboard → Branding → Branding presets.
- Click the 3-dot options menu next to the branding preset name.
- You can choose either to Edit the preset and pick an alternative branding preset or to Remove the preset altogether.
4. The item isn’t suspended
In your Inventory view, look for a Suspended status. This happens if storage fees haven’t been paid. Pay your storage fees, then contact our Support Team to lift the suspension.
5. The item isn’t part of an inventory shipment
Check if the item is in a shipment with the status:
- "In transit"
- "Processing"
- "Arrived"
In these cases, wait until we receive and stock the shipment. Then open the shipment and click Delete shipment. If the item is in a Draft shipment, simply delete the draft by clicking Delete shipment.
How to delete once the requirements are met
If your item meets all the conditions above, you’ll see a gray Delete button in your Inventory view when you select it.
