Error 8006 — Cannot delete in-stock item

What this means

You tried to delete a SKU that still has inventory — either MFN stock or FBA inventory in warehouses. Amazon blocks the deletion.

Why this happens

Deleting active SKUs with inventory would orphan stock. Amazon requires inventory to be 0 (and FBA stock removed) before deletion.

How to fix it

  1. Set quantity to 0 in your feed first.
  2. For FBA inventory, create a removal order through Seller Central.
  3. Wait for FBA inventory to clear (return shipping or disposal).
  4. Then submit the delete operation.
