can I delete my inventory and start over importing a few products at a time.

Hey @cwayne 

You can delete all of your products, but you should be 100% certain that this is what you want to do, as there's no way to revert changes (or 'undo' the delete) once it's done. I'd recommend exporting all of your products to CSV file before doing this, just in case you want a record of the products that you're removing. 

If you're certain that you want to delete all of the products, then you can do so by following these steps:

Login to your Shopify admin > Click into "Products" > Select the checkmark box in the top left corner of your product list > click "select all product in this store" > click the "..." option at the bottom of the page > select "delete products".

Depending on how many products you have, it might take a few minutes for the products to be removed, so don't worry if they're not gone immediately -- just give it a bit of time to apply the changes. 

Cheers,

Stephen

WHAT i WANT TO DO IS TO BRING EVERYTHING BACK IN GROUP BY GROUP SO THAT I CAN MENTALLY KNOW WHAT I HAVE. RIGHT NOW I JUST IMPORTED A BUNCH OF PRODUCTS AND PUT THEM IN GROUPS AND THEN CREATED DIFFERENT GROUPS AND MOVED THEM AND JUST GOT UNORGANIZED. I HAVE ONE PRODUCT IN SEVERAL PLACES AND I NEED EVERYTHING TO BE CLEANED UP FOR STRESS PURPOSED. SEVERAL MONTHS AND iM STILL TRYING TO GET THIS GOING. IT GOT ME PULLING MY HAIR OUT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. LET ME TRY TO FIGUARE OUT THI CSV FILE YOU MENTIONED

Thanks for your advice. I finally got a CVS file done, but it isn't easy to figure out so I think I should delete everything and try to start over. I don't even know if I am importing it correctly. is there somewhere that shows me a step-by-step on building the store? because it bounces me all around before i get one thing finished. I got to get it set up.  Im going broke having a shopify store.

Hey Cwayne, not sure if you managed to get this sorted, but in terms with help building the store, there’s a guy called “e-commerce king” on YouTube who does a step by step guide on getting you set up on shopify. He rolls out a new one every year, 5+ hours long walking you through every step of the process. Really helpful, and free. Was a godsend for helping me figure out my store.
