Delete/Archive Orders

Description

When there are lots of orders that get placed every day, it becomes hard to manage the Order Grid section in Magento admin and it becomes time-consuming for admin users to manage orders. Using the Delete/Archive Orders module, selected orders can be removed as well as marked as archives which help with managing order grids and keeping the order section neat and clean. The module also allows the order delete process to be scheduled automatically to avoid manual work.
