Do you know of any anti-popes who beatified/canonized, and were those beatifications/canonizations later revoked by a real pope?

What is an “anti-pope” ?
Canonizations are not a decree by the Pope at any time.
There is an office in the Vatican called aptly “CONGREGATION FOR THE CAUSES OF SAINTS”
They are charged with recopilating testimony towards making the case for the canonization beatification and eventually Santification of a saint.
It takes years!

Paul: I think the OP was asking if any antipope had issued decrees to beatify or canonize other people.
However, since an antipope is a pretender to the throne, and ineligible for infallibility or the rights and duties of ruling the Catholic Church, any decrees issued by him would be automatically null and void. There would be no need to revoke them, although a statement would be useful to avoid confusion.
