How to Remove “Delete” Mass Action from Product Grid Programmatically in Magento 2?

Hello Magento Friends,

The current tutorial is about removing the “delete” mass action from the admin product grid in Magento 2. We will be performing the steps programmatically. Before starting let’s understand about delete action.

Magento 2 admin grid allows managing products and applying various bulk actions on them. One of the mass actions is “delete”. Look at the below image

Admin users can delete multiple products at a time. But if you want to remove the “Delete” option from the mass action for admin users, you can achieve it programmatically in Magento 2.

Steps to Remove “Delete” Mass Action from Product Grid Programmatically in Magento 2:

Step 1:  We need to create a “di.xml” file inside our extension at the following path

app\code\Vendor\Extension\etc\adminhtml\

Then add the following code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Catalog\Ui\Component\Product\MassAction">
        <plugin name="hide_delete_from_catalog_massaction"
                type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Catalog\Ui\Component\Product\MassAction" sortOrder="1"/>
    </type>
</config>

Step 2:  After that, we need to create a “MassAction.php” file inside our extension at the following path

app\code\Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Catalog\Ui\Component\Product\

Then add the code mentioned below

<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Catalog\Ui\Component\Product;

class MassAction
{
    public function afterIsActionAllowed(
        \Magento\Catalog\Ui\Component\Product\MassAction $subject,
        $isAllowed,
        $actionType)
    {
        if ($actionType == 'delete')
        {
            return false;
        }
        return $isAllowed;
    }
}

Result:

Check your Magento 2 product grid from the admin panel. You can see the “delete” option has been removed from the mass actions.
