Please help. Thank you")* Hi, In the backend, if you have the product_id, you can simply open a product and change the value of the "cid[]=" in the url. You will edit the wanted product and you will be able to see where this product is (in which category etc). You will be able to move it in a specific category and see it in your backend listing, and finally, delete it if you want.

I can now change the strange-character-product-code to a normal one and delete it in a normal way. :woohoo: Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMyLWNvbnRlbnQtY3JlYXRpb24vODY2MDk4LXNvbHZlZC1ob3ctdG8tcmVtb3ZlLWEtcHJvZHVjdC1ieS1wcm9kdWN0LWlkP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
