Default title error

Default title error

I am trying to create variants but there is always an error "The variant 'Default Title' already exists," when the variant clearly has a different title.

I have even tried updating the default variant.

I know you can't delete the default variant unless there exists another variant (I tried that and then did some googling lol).

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
