SKU Error after deleting variable product

When a variable product is deleted, it also deletes variations. If the product is trashed it has not bee fully deleted yet.

@mike That’s the problem. If I delete “completely” the product, some data stay at database.

I’m doing consuming the WOO API, and when I remove the product from the trash and try to create the product again, some errors occurs and using this plugin everything runs fine.

Are you deleting via admin or api?

Admin

Right, so you need to delete after trash or it won’t clear them out.

It’s exactly what I’m doing:

1. API: I create the product – Everything is ok
2. ADMIN: I sent the created product to the trash
3. ADMIN: I go to the trash and remove completely
4. API: I try to create the product again and I receive SKU error or the variations of the product doesn’t appear without any error.

Maybe when you create via API, you’re not associating the products properly? Create it via admin too – see if that acts differently.
