I already removed all tables, indexes and deleted all files associated with the group. To verify I ran the scripts below: sp_helpfilegroup returns 0 for the filecount on 'MYFILEGROUP'. select o.name, s.groupname from sysobjects o join sysindexes i on o.id = i.id join sysfilegroups s on i.groupid = s.groupid where groupname = 'MYFILEGROUP' cannot be removed returns no rows ... I have some more information. When I run dbcc checkfilegroup('MYFILEGROUP') The result lists all of the primary keys with a warning stating: Cannot process rowset ID 72057597605511168 of object "TableName" (ID 2071414), index "PK_TableName" (ID 1), because it resides on filegroup "PRIMARY" (ID 1), which was not checked. Is this expected behavior or does it indicate a problem with the system tables? If it is a problem then how would I fix it? I removed every foriegn key, index and constraint from the database leaving only the tables. It still errors when I try to remove the empty "MYFILEGROUP". sql-server sql-server-2008-r2 groups share|improve this question edited Jan 14 '12 at 17:33 asked Jan 14 '12 at 3:08 Mindy 6228 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted is it possible MYFILEGROUP has a parition object on it? If this is the case then the compatability views your using will not return any results (sql server 2000 did not have partition objects!). The message your getting about skipping the object to check is expected behaviour for 2008 when checkdb checks a paritioned table/index , see this blog post. Do you get anything with this query? select * from sys.partitions p inner join sys.allocation_units a on a.container_id = p.hobt_id inner join sys.filegroups f on f.data_space_id = a.data_space_id where f.name='myfilegroup' share|improve this answer answer

Randal in SQL Server Questions Answered RSS EMAIL Tweet Comments 0 Question: I had to add a second log file to my database because the log file ran out of space and I was unable to perform a transaction log backup. Now I can’t drop the second log file. Can you help? Answer: Adding a second transaction log file temporarily is quite acceptable when the log file runs out of space. If the log cannot be cleared (usually by a transaction log backup) then the alternatives really come down to adding another log file or switching to the simple recovery model (and breaking the log backup chain). Once the crisis has passed, the second log file should be removed again. In this case, when the ALTER DATABASE was issued to drop the second log file, the error returned was: Msg 5042, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The file 'DBMaint2008_log2' cannot be removed because it is not empty. Looking at log_reuse_wait_desc in sys.databases to see why the log cannot be cleared shows NOTHING. So how can this be? Well, it could be that the currently active VLF (Virtual Log File) happens to be in the second file – there always has to be at least one active VLF. Looking at DBCC LOGINFO to see the VLF status shows the following: FileId FileSize StartOffset FSeqNo Status Parity Cre
