how to permanently delete an item from Amazon database, not just the listing from inventory page

how to permanently delete an item from Amazon database, not just the listing from inventory page?

I want to delete an SKU permanently from Amazon database, not only from inventory tab but the whole amazon catalog.

i created the listing so i should be able to wipe it out permanently as well.

HOW TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE AN ASIN

Delete SKUs Using Inventory Loader

You can use the Inventory Loader to delete SKUs from your inventory. Deleting SKUs is different from deleting offerings. Product detail pages are created based on input from many sellers. Using the Inventory Loader to delete SKUs will remove your contributions to the descriptive product attributes that are rendered on product detail pages. This enables you to manage the item data associated with specific SKUs.

Delete both your offers and item data contributions.

Enter an "x" in the add-delete field in your Inventory Loader file. This will completely remove all data associated with your SKU.

Deactivate your offers without deleting item data contributions.

Enter a "d" in the add-delete field in your Inventory Loader file. When you delete offers by entering a "d" in the add-delete field, it sets your inventory for the SKUs to "0". This will make those listings show as inactive.

If you submitted a category-specific inventory file originally and want to use an Inventory Loader file to delete SKUs or make other changes to your listings, you can modify an Active Listings Report. See Use Reports to Update Inventory

Reuse of SKUs

• In general, we discourage reusing SKUs for different products. Each SKU should have a one-to-one relationship with a unique ASIN.

• Assign a new SKU to each new product being sold. This will maintain previous item data contributions that are associated with a specific SKU.

• If you do reuse a SKU, first delete the active ASIN data or you will receive an error message. To remove old associations before reusing a SKU, enter an "x" in your Inventory Loader file. This is important for sellers who routinely reuse SKUs to associate previous SKUs with new ASINs.

SIDE NOTE and personal opinion - I suspect it wouldn’t help anyway because I doubt the lawyers would ever allow complete removal of the information due to legal liabilities at some point –

Hi @Seller_m1K2JgvKy48rx, looks like one of our experienced sellers offered insight above. Here is another resource if needed: Delete a product.

When you delete a listing, the Contribution SKU and all sales history and product information are permanently removed from your seller account.
