If there are some products in your store that you don't need anymore, you can delete them by using the Archive / Delete Products feature.

Why would you want to delete products?

• Your store has a limit on the product amount – 500 products (both enabled and disabled). If there are more products your store can include, Joom suggests you to revise the store and archive the unwanted products;
• If there are no outdated or unwanted products in your store, you can choose its specialization and turn it into a Top Store.
