Variation products with Single-parents

    When I export my products to a csv-file I get a couple of products that isn’t really there. These “ghost-products” are only shown in the export file. I used the “Delete orphaned variations” and got rid of some (those without name and stock-value). But now I’m stuck with a couple of ghost-products that are of variation-type. But the parent is a Single-type.?That should not be possible, but that is what the exported file say.

    I think that the (parent) product was a variable-product at first. But then it got changed to a single product and the variation products didn’t get deleted. Can I get rid of these variation-products?

    Hi @albinnsa

    It sounds like you’re dealing with leftover variations from when the parent product was changed from a variable to a single product. Sometimes these variations might not fully delete and can still appear in exported CSV files.

    A possible solution is to manually check your product list and look for any variations that shouldn’t be there. You could try going to the “Product data” screen (ie. https://snipboard.io/WrImVo.jpg), search for these variations specifically, and manually delete them, ensuring the data matches what you want.

    If a variable product turned into a single product after deleting the parent product and then importing them, then yes, you can delete the variation that became a single product. The key is, when you import a CSV, make sure that when you delete the parent product row, you also delete the variable product since they are on separate rows.
