Deleting Currencies

1. Log in to the PrestaShop Admin Dashboard as an Administrator
2. Hover over the menu bar where it is labeled LOCALIZATION.  Click on CURRENCIES and you will see the currency list.
3. There are two ways to DELETE currencies and there are two ways to DISABLE currencies. 
   
   
   Where are the DISABLE options?
   
   

   DISABLE SELECTION button	located below the listed currencies as per the screenshot above
   ENABLE/DISABLE option	at the bottom of the EDIT screen for the currency selected (you must edit a currency to see this option

   
   
   Where are the DELETE buttons?
   
   

   DELETE SELECTED button	located below the listed currencies as per the screenshot above
   TRASH CAN icon	located to the right of the listed currencies under the ACTIONS column

   
   
   The main difference between DISABLING a currency and DELETING one, is that when you disable a currency its definition remains in the currency list, but cannot be used by the customer in the store front. DELETING a currency removes it from the list in the storefront and also from the backoffice list.
4. If you need to DISABLE a currency, click on the currency check box to select it and then click on the button labeled DISABLE SELECTION. Or, click on the currency to select it and enter the EDIT screen, then click on the radial button at the bottom of the screen to DISABLE the currency.  Once you have finished disabling the currency skip down to step 6 in order to SAVE your change.
5. If you need to DELETE a currency, click on currency checkbox to select it, then click on DELETE SELECTED at the bottom lefthand side of the table.  You can also use the trash can icon at the right of the table.  Clicking on this icon will bring up a confirmation dialog that youu must answer to delete a currency.
6. Click on the green SAVE button in the top right hand corner in order to save your changes.

Editing a currency may involve something as simple as changing format for the way the currency appears, but to your customers these details are important.  PrestaShop also allows you to disable or delete currencies.  Choose each option with care per the needs of your store and your customers.
