Item Delete not deleting item in Variation Site

Question

I have a site which is actually a root site for Variation site under http://mywebapp/en and there is a derived site http://mywebapp/ar for English and Arabic sites respectively.

Whenever i create a page inside my root site http://mywebapp/en and run the job Variations Propagate Page Job Definition the page is immediately got promoted to http://mywebapp/ar and i can see that page. However, when i delete a page from http://mywebapp/en and run the job again, its not deleting from http://mywebapp/ar site.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

In case that a page in the source variation label has been deleted, all relationships list entries for the variation group of the deleted item are recycled - means neither the item which was deleted in the source label nor the items in the target labels are variation hierarchy items after the delete.
