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

Step 3: Remove Sample Data
Magento 2 provides a command-line tool that we can use to remove sample data. Run the following command:

1 |
php bin/magento sampledata:remove |
Step 4: Upgrade the Setup
After removing the sample data, you need to upgrade the setup by running:
