 * Hello,
    I got a question about deleting order. I got around 20000 orders in my
   system that is completed and delivered. My website is running slow because i 
   have over 600 000 database inputs from all the orders.
 * If i delete the orders in admin backend will orders still remain at customer 
   order history page?
 * Or how should i do it?
    Can i in some way export them and then delete all orders?
   Or is it suggested to use more databases for one webiste?
 * Thanks

 * Hello,
 * When I deleted 30000 orders my shop has been loading a lot faster.
    And no more
   database crash.
 * If you delete orders customers won’t see them anymore, but my experience is that
   they do not care.
 * Please post a feedback after deleting the orders.
 * Thank you.

 * Before deleting those orders, I’d recommend backing them up, either via a database
   backup or by exporting them to a CSV file. If you’d like to export to CSV, I 
   recommend this plugin:
