Well, Im not sure if this is a bug, or if Im not doing things right. This is how you can reproduce
I have a field collection, that has two field, I was trying to delete a specific item within the field collection.
//Load the node wrapper
$wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper($entity_type, $entity);
//get for example the first element within the field collection
$field_collection_item_value = $wrapper->field_my_field_collection[0]->value();
//use entity delete function for delete the selected item within the field collection
entity_delete('field_collection_item', $field_collection_item_value->item_id);
Well all this code works ok it deletes the item, but when I try to add or delete an item with the links from the node I get this error:
EntityMetadataWrapperException: Unable to get the data property field_cantidad_salida as the parent data structure is not set. in EntityStructureWrapper->getPropertyValue() (line 438 of /home/servilla/public_html/servillantasgiraldo.com.co/sites/all/modules/entity/includes/entity.wrapper.inc).
Any idea how to fix it? Im deleting the wrong way the item within the field collection?

jmuzz commentedI agree this should be supported.
When a field collection is deleted this way the reference to it in its host remains, which causes the error. There are a couple of ways it could be fixed:
