Our website uses a product database with information on certain stock. Ive gone through to clean out stock we no longer sell and ive deleted the folder, BUT in my product search its still listing the items ive deleted and none of the items deleted have been sent to the recycle bin. Im wanting to delete these products from our product search but since the files ive deleted are no longer there how can this be done?
Was i meant to delete each product type seprately? and is there a way of restoring these deleted folders? All the deleted folders are all still published as well, is there any way of un-publishing stuff you've deleted.
Im still new to Umbraco so still learning different things but we had our site build by another campany a few years ago before we took over. The issue im having is that when ive deleted the product folder, not files they havent been taken from the internet( didnt unpublish), products are still listed but just go to an error 404 message. Im wondering if by making the page again could override the existing published page or if theres another way to swap the error page for a new page?
The products should be in Umbraco as i dont use anything else for the website and im not sure as i wasnt currently working at the company when we had it built.
If i unpublish the product database file would that unpublish all of the files within it or just that page?

Hey Rhys,
Welcome to the forum!
Are the products held in Umbraco or an external database? If it's Umbraco then try to delete the /App_Data/umbraco.config file and see what happens.
If it's in an external database then you'll have to work out how to delete the products (they won't appear in the Umbraco Recycle bin).
