Store view deletion

[janavi_g]

Hi,

We have a two store view website in our magento. If i am deleting the one store, while running reindex cron job whether the existing URL redirect list will be automatically cleared
for the deleted store or manually we need to delete the existing URL rdirect list.

And also what are all the steps we need to follow after deletion of one store(this will help us to avoid another website impact)?

Will the URL redirect list always be re-created for the particular store view after deletion of URL redirect list alone when a re-index is run? - Can you confirm?

Please clarify my queries?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @janavi_g

Yes, you can delete store views directly from admin and then just to do reindex and flush cache. It will work perfectly.

Hi @Manish Mittal,

Already created URL redirect  list also will be removed after delete the store?

or  We need to delete the existing URL redirect list manually after delete the store?

Please clarify.

Hello @janavi_g

Yes it should delete all associated url but if you have some custom table then it will not delete.

Hi @janavi_g

Yes , directly you can delete your store from the backend of the magento  - when you delete your store all the URLs related to that store will be automatically cleared - you don't required to clear manually - as store itself not exists and both are inter-related to each other.

Regarding your second question - after deleting the store you need to do re-indexing and clear and flush cache for the same.

Coming back to your third-question - yes if you just delete the URL rewrite from the backend and that store is still exist and you browse that store or i would say - you do any operations on the same - then all the URLs will be generated again !

Hope you got all the points - let me know if you still have query on the same !

Hope it helps
