In this tutorial, we will teach you how to delete a WooCommerce order programmatically today. There are 2 methods that you can use to delete the order. One is moving the order to the trash and the other is deleting the order permanently. You can either use wp_delete_post() function or you can use wc_get_order() then delete() function. For HPOS use wc_get_order() then delete() function.
Delete order with HPOS
When you want to move the order to the trash :
$orderId = 10;
$orderDetail = wc_get_order( $orderId )
$orderDetail->delete( false );
$orderDetail = wc_get_order( $orderId )
$orderDetail->delete( false );
To delete an order permanently:
$orderId = 10;
$orderDetail = wc_get_order( $orderId )
$orderDetail->delete( true );
$orderDetail = wc_get_order( $orderId )
$orderDetail->delete( true );
Delete order with wp_delete_post()
When you want to move the order to the trash :
$orderId = 10;
wp_delete_post($orderId, false);
wp_delete_post($orderId, false);
To delete an order permanently:
$orderId = 10;
wp_delete_post($orderId, true);
wp_delete_post($orderId, true);
