EzPopulate - 404 error pages

[ehm]

I'm totally new to Zen Cart, using version 1.3.8a in a linux machine.

I uploaded all my products to zen cart using ez populate and all was working fine until I find out that I had create two levels of categories:
v_categorie_name_1
and
v_categorie_name_2
I thought I was creating the name in English and in Portuguese....

What I did was usign mysqladmin, deleted all zen_product_xx related tables.
Then import again all my products, now w/o the second categorie.
The first page of the cart now, shows the products icons, but if I click any image, I get 404 error.
Entering ADMIN, I can see all products inside each category (in the right place now), but if I click to EDIT, MOVE, DELETE, COPY any product, I also receive the 404 error page.

Any idea what could be wrong?
Thank you

I hate to answers my own questions... it means that I made a mistake on the first place...

The reason why it's not working is that there are 3 tables one should not delete on Products, when removing the whole database:
zen_products_options
zen_products_options_types
zen_product_types

I recreated those tables and it's working now.

I believe it is possible to DELETE products with EasyPopulate (PLEASE CHECK THIS, AND SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG).

As far as I know, if you set "v_status" to " 9 ", it will delete the product...

OK, I just tested this on my test shop, and YES... if you alter the v_status value to 9, it will delete the relevant product(s).

The CATEGORIES remain, but if you EMPTY them using EP, deleting the cats is MUCH FASTER, as there are no products to contend with first.
