# Uninstall and remove all WooCommerce Data
|
||
|
||
The WooCommerce plugin can be uninstalled like any other WordPress plugin. By default, the WooCommerce data is left in place though.
|
||
|
||
If you need to remove *all* WooCommerce data as well, including products, order data, coupons, etc., you need to to modify the site’s `wp-config.php` *before* deactivating and deleting the WooCommerce plugin.
|
||
|
||
As this action is destructive and permanent, the information is provided as is. WooCommerce Support cannot help with this process or anything that happens as a result.
|
||
|
||
To fully remove all WooCommerce data from your WordPress site, open `wp-config.php`, scroll down to the bottom of the file, and add the following constant on its own line above `/* That’s all, stop editing. */`.
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
define( 'WC_REMOVE_ALL_DATA', true );
|
||
|
||
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, once the changes are saved to the file, when you deactivate and delete WooCommerce, all of its data is removed from your WordPress site database.
