Answer 1

If you are doing this on a live site, you probably need to do the reindex process from the command line with Apache turned off.

This explains how to do this.

Answer 2

I used following queries to clean catalog tables;

delete from `catalog_category_product` WHERE product_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity)

delete from `catalog_category_product` WHERE category_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_category_entity) 

delete from ` catalog_product_website` WHERE product_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity) 

delete from ` catalog_product_entity_media_gallery` WHERE entity_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity) 

delete from ` catalog_product_index_eav_idx` WHERE entity_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity) 

delete from ` catalog_product_index_eav` WHERE entity_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity) 

delete from ` catalog_product_link` WHERE product_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity) 

delete from ` catalog_product_relation` WHERE parent_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity)

After this i was able to reindex from admin panel.

This only removes rogue data that shouldn't be there.

I've expanded the above as it may save some hours of digging:

delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_datetime` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_decimal` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_gallery` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_group_price` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_int` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_media_gallery` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_text` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_tier_price` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete FROM `catalog_product_entity_varchar` where entity_id not in (select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
#originals with formatting fixed:
delete from `catalog_category_product` WHERE product_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
delete from `catalog_category_product` WHERE category_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_category_entity); 
delete from `catalog_product_website` WHERE product_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity); 
delete from `catalog_product_index_eav_idx` WHERE entity_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity); 
delete from `catalog_product_index_eav` WHERE entity_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity); 
delete from `catalog_product_link` WHERE product_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity); 
delete from `catalog_product_relation` WHERE parent_id not in(select entity_id from catalog_product_entity);
