Great tutorial schoolboy - been trying to find the time for years to put something as clear as that together for clients! Wish I'd found it sooner!

Thank you for all reply
looks like i have to set Status on 9,delete all the products.and again reload new file.hoping just not deleting the images.i saw other program like Zen Cart manager has the option of delete the product ,not listed on csv file.but i like better EP.because is very fast.

Status = 9 may delete the images from the images folder(s).

Make sure you have a backup of images you wish to retain.
