Delete attribute values
You might want to delete an attribute for example, if the manufacturer no longer makes the product in a certain color, or the product is no longer dry clean only.
Delete an attribute value will not delete an associated SKU that is defined by that attribute. After deleting an attribute value, any SKUs that are defined by that attribute value will continue to exist, and will continue to use the deleted attribute value. If you want a SKU to stop using an attribute value, either delete the SKU, or assign a new attribute value for the defining attribute of the SKU. The new attribute value must first be added to the defining attribute of a product before being assigned to the SKU.
