Delete Imported External Bookings

January 6, 2025

There may be situations where you want to delete external bookings that have been imported into your WordPress site. CozyStay provides several ways to do this in different situations.

Delete All Imported Booking by One Click

On your WordPress site dashboard, please navigate to Rooms > iCal Sync > In the “Imported Bookings” tab, click on the “Delete All Imported Bookings” button.

Please note that this is a new feature added in version 1.7.0. If you cannot find this button on your WordPress site, please update the theme and the required plugin first. (How to update?)
Delete all imported bookings manually.

By clicking this button you can clear all previously imported data in one go, ensuring any expired reservations are cleared. You can then manually re-sync your external reservation data to get the latest, clean data.

Re-sync all external bookings manually.

Delete bookings imported by old links that no longer exist

If you have modified or deleted any external calendar links, the theme will automatically delete the data imported by these old links. But in some cases (maybe the “Also delete all booking records” option is not checked, maybe it’s just a glitch, etc.), these old data may not be deleted automatically. In these cases, you can delete these old data manually:

On your WordPress site dashboard, please navigate to Rooms > iCal Sync > In the “Settings” tab, find “For external calendar links that no longer exist“, then click on the “Delete Booking Records” button.

Automatically clear old imported bookings

If you don’t want too much old data stored on your site, you can enable automatic deletion of old external bookings. On your WordPress site dashboard, please navigate to Rooms > iCal Sync > In the “Settings” tab, find “Automatically clear old imported bookings“, then select an option from the dropdown list.
