WooCommerce – How to Bulk Delete all Pending Reviews Quickly

This is a quick guide on how to bulk delete pending reviews on WooCommerce products.

We know that it can be really tedious to delete 50k pending reviews because the bulk actions in WooCommerce are too limited, and we can’t filter our products by doing advanced searches.

Besides, we can have a lot of trouble with our server because WooCommerce will try to edit all the reviews at once, so we need a powerful server.

Fortunately, we’ve come up with a great solution.

We want to show you how easy it is to delete all pending reviews using the Comments and Reviews Spreadsheet plugin.

It displays all your comments and reviews on a spreadsheet where you can edit values as you do in Excel or Google Sheets.
