How to Remove Sample Data from Magento 2

In this blog post, we will learn how to remove sample data from Magento 2. Sample data (opens in new tab) is useful for development and testing, but it’s not needed in a production environment. Let’s see how we can remove it.

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure that you have:

• Installed Magento 2
• Access to the command line interface (CLI) of the server where Magento 2 is installed

Steps to Remove Sample Data

Step 1: Access the Server

First, you need to access the server where Magento 2 is installed. This can be done through SSH or any other method you prefer.

ssh user@yourserver

Step 2: Navigate to the Magento 2 Directory

Once you’re in, navigate to the directory where Magento 2 is installed.

cd /path/to/your/magento2

Step 3: Remove Sample Data

Magento 2 provides a command-line tool that we can use to remove sample data. Run the following command:

php bin/magento sampledata:remove

Step 4: Upgrade the Setup

After removing the sample data, you need to upgrade the setup by running:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Step 5: Clear the Cache

Finally, clear the cache to ensure that the changes take effect:

php bin/magento cache:clean

Conclusion

And that’s it! You have successfully removed sample data from your Magento 2 installation. Now your Magento 2 is ready for production use. Remember, always backup your data before making any major changes to your system.
