Manage Content and Structure BUG (Exception from HRESULT: 0x81070215)

Hi  All, 

I recently got a bug when I was navigating to "Site Actions" >> Manage Content and Structure and Boom!  . An error was thrown: 

 

BUG: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exception from HRESULT: 0x81070215 at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.GetViewsSchemaXml(String bstrUrl, String bstrListName, Boolean bFullBlown, ISP2DSafeArrayWriter p2DWriter, Int32& plDefaultViewIndex) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.GetViewsSchemaXml(String bstrUrl, String bstrListName, Boolean bFullBlown, ISP2DSafeArrayWriter p2DWriter, Int32& plDefaultViewIndex)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A very nasty error. But the error code (HRESULT: 0x81070215) reminded of the error which I had seen before. Its was in my blog. 

It happens when open a list, either the list is has not properly been deleted and is in a corrupted state. I have revisited my site and found that one of my custom list named "Annotations" was in corrupted state. Or may be I had deleted the solution but not deactivated on the site feature. 

FIX: 

Although the help message displays information about using the forcedeleteweb operation, you have to use forcedeletelist instead. The syntax is:

stsadm.exe -o forcedeletelist -url <url>

For e.g. if the list called as "Annotations" has corrupted just fire up this command:

stsadm -o forcedeletelist -url http://server/apac/lists/annotations

Just fire the stsadm command and activate the feature.
Now, again go to "Site Actions" >> "Manage Content and Structure". 


It will work fine.
