Options and Values data is used when creating and editing product Attributes. Zen Cart Product Options and Values allow you to define attributes that will be applied to specific products, such as color, size, style as well as additional cost if necessary. Store Manager for Zen Cart allows you to perform basic operations with options and values of all products at one place, instead of doing it through some product's menu.

By deleting an option you'll delete all it's values as well and remove all the references. So if some products have let's say Color option, this option will be removed from all products that include it.
