We have a guide on adding and deleting products that will show you step by step how to remove those old products you no longer want active. Let me know if this helps! If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Hey, @Gcochoni 

 

Where are these product links appearing on your store? Can you take a screenshot where the links are located?

 

For context, a link that is no longer active will always be dead. Once you delete the product, you will need to remove any links that are from that deleted products on your store so that customers do not click on a dead link. - Dirk

Hey, @Gcochoni 

 

The links are already deleted which is why your browser returns a 404 page not found error. This is standard internet practice. If you have links on the internet leading to this old product page, you would want to remove those links. Otherwise, you would use URL redirection in your Shopify admin to redirect to a similar product as the one you have deleted. Feel free to read our guide on URL redirections.

 

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
