NAveed,
Can't be any help to you but I'm bumping this thread to the top as I am having the same trouble.
I'm unable to delete product duplicates too.
I can't recall what variations of cutting and deleting I tried (but I know I tried on both the duplicate and the original.. my catalogues are currently backed up and closed for the night) but I had (and have) the same problem.
Anyone else experienced this? Is it a known bug?

I believe that it is possible by doing the following
Housekeeping - Purge - Purge Contents
This however (someone correct me if im wrong!) will clean up the whole catalog deleting all sections/products deleted (basically anything marked with red cross). I don't want to do this myself at the moment, because im still making changes to my site.
That will remove EVERYTHING in the catalogue that is marked as deleted (red crossed), you're right.
It's not something I am able to do often either as I have some products deleted that I may still need (although now that the hidden option works correctly in V6+, it's easier!)
I am sure that the duplicate *should* be "cut-able" but it isn't.
It'd be an easy way to remove them.
Is it a bug? Does anyone else know?

Correct, but the CUSTOMVAR bug does not impinge on the product duplicate functionality, but if you make use of a lot of custom properties, then you might best await version 7.0.3, which we were originally promised in January...
7.0.3 will just be a maintenance release with a few bug fixes - such as the problems with custom properties.
Just for reference, we are holding onto the 7.0.3 release while we check out an issue that a few of our customers have experienced with Windows 98/Me and very large databases. Once we've got this sorted out, we'll look at releaing a beta. Sorry it's taken a bit longer than we first had planned.
