Reviews
what people actually sayBulk Delete is a capable cleanup tool for posts and custom post types that works well for many users, but carries a serious caveat: its user-deletion feature has repeatedly ignored filter conditions (such as WooCommerce orders), causing irreversible data loss, and premium support has been reported as unresponsive.
What people like
- +Effectively deletes large volumes of posts and custom post types in bulk×4

- +Useful for emergency cleanup scenarios such as recovering from a hack
- +Offers a wide range of filtering and deletion features×2
Common complaints
- −User deletion ignores applied filters (e.g. WooCommerce orders, metadata), deleting users who should have been excluded and causing irreversible data loss×4
- −Premium version support is unresponsive; refund requests ignored for weeks×2
- −Batch deletion process cannot be safely interrupted — it continues silently even after the admin page is reloaded
- −Requires a strong server; can stall or fail on lower-spec hosting when processing large datasets
- −User deletion by metadata does not work
