How Deleting Ingredients Works

Deleting an ingredient is a two-step process designed to prevent accidental removal.

Step 1 – Delete the Ingredient

  1. Go to Admin > Ingredients

  2. Locate the ingredient you want to remove

  3. Click the Delete button in the Action column

After clicking Delete, the ingredient is moved to the Trash. At this stage:

  • The ingredient is no longer active in the dispensary

  • It has not been permanently deleted

  • It can still be restored if needed

Step 2 – Permanently Delete from Trash

To completely remove an ingredient from your dispensary:

  1. Open the Trash at the top of the Ingredients page

  2. Locate the ingredient

  3. Delete it from the Trash

Only after this step is the ingredient fully removed from the system.

⚠️ Important Caution

Deleting an ingredient that has been:

  • Used in previous orders

  • Included in custom products

  • Referenced in existing formulas

can cause issues with historical records, reporting, and fulfillment.

Best practice:
Instead of deleting an ingredient, change its status (for example, to Draft or Pending Review). This removes the ingredient from active use while preserving data integrity.

Using the Trash provides a safeguard against accidental deletion, but adjusting an ingredient’s status is usually the safest approach.
