> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

You can remove product options or whole product option categories in the **Product options** application.

> **Info:** You cannot remove product options from Text product option categories. This is because each category of this type contains just one option – the text itself.
>
> If you need to remove Text product options, remove their categories.

1. Select the product option category that contains the options you want to remove, and click **Edit** ().
   - (Optional) **Delete** () the category. The system removes all options contained in the category at once.

     > **Note:** You cannot remove product option categories:
     >
     > - if the system uses the contained options in at least one [order](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/orders.md), or
     > - if the system uses the contained options in at least one product variant.
2. Switch to the **Options** tab.
3. Select a product option and click **Delete** ().

   > **Note:** You cannot remove product options:
   >
   > - if the system uses the options in at least one order, or
   > - if the system uses the options in at least one product variant.

   - (Optional) Repeat this step if you want to remove more options from the category.

The system removes the product options from the store.

> **Tip:** You can also remove product options from the store in the **Products** application when editing products on the **Options -> Option categories** tab.
