Q: How can I remove a product variant from a manually created product?

A: Once a product variant has been created, especially if it has sales data associated with it, you cannot delete it. The delete function is intended for use during the initial product creation process before the item is saved.

Instead, you should follow these steps to effectively remove the variant without affecting your sales data:

1. Remove stock: Adjust the inventory level for that variant to zero.
2. Remove barcodes: Delete any associated barcodes for the variant.
3. Archive the current product: Archive the entire product to remove it from your active inventory.
4. Create a new product: Create a new, separate product with the correct variants going forward.
