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

Problem:
The client reported that when deleting products, they were only being removed in the Italian language and not in the English and Lithuanian translations.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps to ensure that deleting a product in the original language also deletes its translations:
1. Enable the option "When deleting a post, delete translations as well" in WPML → Settings → Posts and pages synchronization.
2. Delete the products in the original language from Products → All Products screen.
By following these steps, the product translations should also be deleted.

Please note that this solution might not apply to your situation if it's outdated or not relevant to your specific case. If after trying these steps you still encounter issues, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us.

As far as I can see, it is expected as you probably did the import to one language only.

Here is the outline of steps to follow:

– Activate the option "When deleting a post, delete translations as well" in WPML → Settings → Posts and pages synchronization

– And delete the products in the original language from Products → All Products screen

– This should delete the product translations as well

I hope this helps.
