I've trying to import a products list to magento. In the firsts test, I got success, but the products were not showing up in back or front office.
After redo the import process few times, I found out that I have the imported products on database, but, still not showing.
If I access de Catalog > Manage Categories > Default Category -> Category Products I may see the imported products.
Later on, I found a error in my import file ... and I may correctly import products
instead .... I have found conflicts in the 'sku' field ...
those first products are not showing up yet, but they are still on database...
Question: How do I remove those products if I can't access them ???? May I do that direct on database ? deleting the rows can generate other issues ?
any clue will be appreciated !
Magento ver. 1.7.0.1
