Deleting Woocommerce attributes from phpMyAdmin

1. Acces phpMyAdmin from cPanel

3. now copy and paste that sql query into the text area available in there:

   DELETE FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy LIKE 'pa_attributename';

   Please make sure you repalce “attributename” with your own attribute name.

   • To find out the real name of the attributes which terms you would like to delete, go back to Products > Attributes. From there click on the attribute name, which contains terms you would like to remove.
   • In the url that will be open, something like https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=pa_brands-models&post_type=product. In red is the real attribute name that you need to use in the SQL query.
     The query in my case is

     DELETE FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy LIKE 'pa_brands-models';

4. Run this query from phpMyAdmin to have all attribtues terms deleted ….Repeat as much as need
