It's true that best practice says editing the db directly is a bad idea, but as noted in this post, Mage has the foreign keys set to cascade. If they configured all the foreign keys properly and comprehensively (as any good db architect should), then deleting a row from catalog_product_entity will also delete its corresponding reference in catalog_category_product (or disallow the original row from being deleted if using "restrict"). @j,Mike,x: I disagree.
