Storage Best Practices
Run Compaction Regularly
Run storage compaction monthly or after large import/delete operations to maintain optimal performance and storage efficiency.
Export Before Deleting
Before removing old stores or products, export them to CSV if you might need the data later. This provides a backup while freeing storage.
Use Lists for Active Work
Move products you're actively working on to Lists. This makes it easier to track what's important and identify what can be cleaned up.
