How can I delete/remove Draft Listings from Catalogue->Add a Product Page
The number of Draft Listings is increasing each time I add new products. These products are already listed, visible on site and, in some cases, have sales so why are they listed as ‘Drafts’. The crucial question is ‘How do I get rid of these pesky drafts?’ Advice please.

If you ever find out please let us know. I tried deleting them from the drafts page and it removed the listings completely from my inventory and I had to add them all again.
It is the stupidest process ever, it simply does not work as it keeps telling you more details are required and when you go to edit there is nothing missing at all.
I even asked SS, how foolish was that?? I got one of their waffle replies, listings can take time to update and can be in drafts for some time. REALLY!!! So how long is some time as I listed them on 1st March 2019. It clearly must be as long as a piece of string.

Have you checked the Listing Enhancements to see if anything needs to be filled?

@Kika - Yes I have checked to see if any data is missing. Typical example: Draft was missing image(s) but active product page shows 3 correct product images?
@IslaUS10 - Same here, I thought that deleting the draft would resolve the issue. No!! Like you I had to re-list. Length of string is twice the distance from the centre to the end.

@Kika Thanks for the burned image, which tool did you use, it’s not perfect but it might work. This would mean a lot of work for me, I currently have 140+ ASIN’s each with five images. Meanwhile any updates in Drafts are appearing on live product pages, but drafts remain !!
@IslaUS10 I didn’t notice until now that the ‘Complete Your Drafts’ page is a BETA - surely we can vote this nonsense out !!
