How do I either replace or completely remove a column in the Woocommerce Orders list in admin?

I know that there's possible to just uncheck the "Shipping address" column from the "Screen Options" and add another custom column and name it "Shipping address" too. But idealy I would like to just have one "Shipping address" column option and just be able to change what's in that column.

I have tried to first just remove the "Shipping address" column but isn't succeeding with that either:

function new_orders_columns($columns)
{
    unset($columns['shippging_address']);

    return $columns;
}

function after_woo()
{
    add_filter('manage_shop_order_posts_columns', 'new_orders_columns', 10, 1);
}

add_action('plugins_loaded', 'after_woo');

It just won't be removed. I have tried to change the priority and init/loaded hooks. But nothing works.

Any help here?

The correct filter hook to be used is manage_edit-shop_order_columns.

1) To remove shipping_address column:

add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'remove_specific_orders_column' );
function remove_specific_orders_column( $columns ){
    unset( $columns['shipping_address'] );

    return $new_columns;
}

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.

2) Replace the content of shipping_address column:

Here is an example that will replace the column "Shipping address" content from Admin Orders list:

add_filter( 'manage_edit-shop_order_columns', 'customizing_orders_columns' );
function customizing_orders_columns( $columns ){
    $new_columns = [];

    foreach ( $columns as $key => $column ) {
        if( $key === 'shipping_address' ) {
            $new_columns['shipping_addr_repl'] = $column;
        } else {
            $new_columns[$key] = $column;
        }
    }
    return $new_columns;
}

---

add_action( 'manage_shop_order_posts_custom_column', 'set_custom_shipping_address_content_replacement' );
function set_custom_shipping_address_content_replacement( $column ) {
    global $the_order, $post;

    if ( 'shipping_addr_repl' === $column ) {
        // YOUR REPLACEMENT CODE (Fake example below)
        echo $the_order->get_shipping_city();
    }
}

Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.

The original displayed content code for this column is:

$address = $the_order->get_formatted_shipping_address();

if ( $address ) {
    echo '<a target="_blank" href="' . esc_url( $the_order->get_shipping_address_map_url() ) . '">' . esc_html( preg_replace( '#<br\s*/?>#i', ', ', $address ) ) . '</a>';
    if ( $the_order->get_shipping_method() ) {
        /* translators: %s: shipping method */
        echo '<span class="description">' . sprintf( __( 'via %s', 'woocommerce' ), esc_html( $the_order->get_shipping_method() ) ) . '</span>'; // WPCS: XSS ok.
    }
} else {
    echo '&ndash;';
}
