This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are working on a multilingual site (NL, FR, GB) and have a grouped product with many linked products. After removing linked products in the NL version, they still appear in the FR and GB versions.
Solution:
Ensure that your WPML and its add-ons are updated to the latest versions. After updating, remove the linked products from the original product and click the Update button. This should also remove the linked products from the translations. If the issue persists, please provide your site's Debug information for further assistance. You can find how to provide this information here.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also suggest checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, please visit our support forum at WPML support forum.

Hi,

The field should be locked, as shown in your last screenshot.
I just made a test on my test site. When I removed the linked products from the original product and updated it (by clicking the Update button), the linked products were also removed from the translations. On my test site, WPML and its add-ons are all up to date in their latest versions. Is it also so on your site? If not, please update everything and try my suggestion.

Please share your site's Debug information if you need further help with this issue. You can read about it here: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Regards,
Itamar.
