xml deletion of pull down menu option

[johnbiggscr]

We are experimenting with using the ordering options section of the products on one of our site, using advanced options to put each size option for the product under a pull down menu, each with their own sku, price, etc.
We have discovered how to check and uncheck the use box with xml (<Use>unchecked</Use>) but have yet to discover the syntax to delete an entry.
Looking at these forums I see its apparently not possible to delete a product with xml but how about deleting a pull down menu option with xml?

Our existing xml looks like this example:

<ShopSiteProducts>
<Response>
<ResponseCode>1</ResponseCode>
<ResponseDescription>success</ResponseDescription>
</Response>
<Products>
<Product>
<Name>K418 Street</Name>
<ProductOptions>
<ProductOption name="2.75-17 ">
<Use>unchecked</Use>
<Menu1>2.75-17 </Menu1>
<Menu2/>
<Menu3/>
<Menu4/>
<AppendText> ($36.58)</AppendText>
<SKU>191557</SKU>
<PriceModifier>36.58</PriceModifier>
<WeightModifier>6.0</WeightModifier>
<QuantityOnHand/>
<LowStockThreshold/>
<OutOfStockLimit/>
<Image/>
</ProductOption>

We tried adding <Delete>checked</Delete> after the Use entry but that didnt seem to work.
Does anyone know if its even possible? and if so what the syntax is please?
Thanks.

There isn't a way to delete an option with an upload. (You also can't delete a page or product using an upload.) The only way to delete items (or options) is to use the delete option in the backoffice of the store.
When you mark an option as <Use>unchecked</Use> that option will no longer be displayed when you publish your store page. This allows you to mark the option as no longer available if you run out of stock but will get some later. By having the option still there you can just set the <Use> value back to checked and make the product available again when you get more stock. If you don't want the option in the backoffice then you can use the Delete checkbox on the Edit Product Info screen.
