Magento 2: How to remove the Order Status in admin panel?

Question

In Magento 2 admin panel, I can see there is an option to unassign the status. But, is there any option to Removes the Default Order Status in the admin panel? If not, suggest the way how I can remove it.

Please guide.

Thank you.

Answer 1

There is no way to delete status by admin natively in Magento. But we can delete the records from the database. There are two tables:

sales_order_status
sales_order_status_label

You can find entries like this:

SELECT * FROM sales_order_status WHERE status = 'STATUS_CODE';
SELECT * FROM sales_order_status_label WHERE status = 'STATUS_CODE';

Answer 2

You can manage order status under Store > Settings > Order Status you can add new status or unassigns order status.
