Magento Admin Tool to remove ALL product images

Question

Is there an admin tool in Magento which will remove all images from all products? I know you can go product-by-product and remove all images, but I'm wondering if there's an admin tool which will do all products at once?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am not sure why you would like to do this but here is a way to do it directly from the Database.

1. Backup then truncate these 2 tables:

   catalog_product_entity_media_gallery catalog_product_entity_media_gallery_value

2. then delete '/media/catalog/product'

3. clear all caches.

I haven't tested it but it should do the job. If it doesnt work then restore those 2 tables
