How do I programatically remove Menus?

Question

I know that each menu item is simply post present in nav_menu_item post type. It has has ID and can be removed with wp_delete_post() but posts deleted this way don't remove menus present under [Appearance > Menus]. Only menu items are removed.

For instance I have "My Menu" under [Appearance > Menus] that has the following items: page-1, page-2, category-3. I can remove menu items with wp_delete_post() but "My Menu" (group for those items) remains intact.

How can I programatically remove all defined Menus (and menu items)?

Answer 1

Please check wp_delete_nav_menu() function. If you want to get all nav menus you can check wp_terms table or

$menu_list = get_terms('nav_menu');

to get a list of it.
