    red flag Delete linked product

    Zen Cart: V1.5.7c
    PHP 7.4

    I copied a product to a new category and had the "link" radio button selected by mistake.
    Now any changes to this copied product in the new category, causes the original product to change.
    How can I remove this link and delete the copied version without affecting the original?

    Enter the original producti ID in Categories - Products

    Click on the C (Dark Blue) in the Action options

    Scroll down to click on Mutiple Categories Link Manager

    Scroll down to Linked Categories

    Remove the selection that you don't want linked

    There is no copied product. There is only one product but it can be displayed in multiple categories. That is what "linked" means.

    There seems to be something missing between these two steps

    Code:
    Click on the C (Dark Blue) in the Action options
    
    Scroll down to click on Mutiple Categories Link Manager
    The Blue "C" is the copy command, and I don't see the "Mutiple Categories Link Manager" once I click the "C"

    Or click on delete, and delete the linked category from the list.

    It should be at the bottom of the right-hand column underneath copy and cancel.

    As torvista said, you can just delete the other category and redo it IF it only has the one item.

    Yep, both the way to get there and the way to save are not too intuitive.
