I received a note saying that it would, but it never used to.

Yes, if you delete a parent listing, the child ASINs will also be removed from your inventory, but they may still exist in Amazon’s catalog. Previously, deleting a parent ASIN didn’t affect the child listings, but Amazon has made changes to how variations are handled. If you need to remove only the parent but keep the child listings active, you should first separate them from the variation relationship before deleting the parent. If you’ve already deleted the parent and the child ASINs are missing, you can try re-adding them individually or checking if they still exist in your catalog under “Manage Inventory.”

No, it will not. All the child listings will stand alone then.
No it will un merge your child listing.
But it will not effect children listings in anyway.
No, it doesn’t. Even if they delete it, you can still bring it back by entering the SKU and ASIN under “Add a Product.” It will prompt you with “Is this product yours?” on the deleted listing, and if you select “Yes,” it will restore it.
If you delete a parent listing, it typically does not delete the child listings, as they exist independently in Amazon’s catalog. However, they may become inactive or lose their variation relationship, which means you might need to relink them later if you recreate the parent ASIN. Amazon’s system has changed over time, and in some cases, deleting a parent ASIN can lead to child ASINs being suppressed or delisted temporarily. To be safe, before deleting the parent, make sure all child listings have their own independent product details and are not dependent on the variation relationship for visibility. If you’re concerned, you can remove the variation manually first or back up the ASINs before proceeding.
