Background of the issue:
I had a website in 3 languages (CZ, RU, EN) and copied it to a new hosting/domain. I added French language and translated automatically. Now, I need to leave only the French language and disable WPML to have a single language website.

Symptoms:
When I delete Czech pages, French pages are being deleted automatically as well. There seems to be a dependency between them since we were translating from CZ to FR. This issue does not occur with RU and EN.

Questions:
What should I do to leave ONLY French pages, product pages, templates, etc.?

While one of my teammates handles your ticket, I will provide you with initial debugging steps.

You might have the option "When deleting a post, delete translations as well" enabled in WPML → Settings → Posts and pages synchronization. Try to turn it off and delete the Czech pages.
