How to Delete Items by Prefix in Simple Product Filter?
What is delete by prefix'?
Delete by Prefix is a mechanism that allows store owners to remove words from filter items that begin with a specific prefix. This feature is especially useful when you need to clean up or reset data in bulk based on naming patterns.
Before proceeding to this step, make sure you have activated Sledge Core and added the Product Filter Widget to your theme.
