to use as a testing environment and are ready to kill it because you've finished this phase of testing. The site contains several subsites, maybe a blog or two and a few workspaces.

You can delete a site that has subsites. You just have to do it from a different interface.

In fact, a few years ago this became such a common task on the Agilent http://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/2007/10/31/tips-and-tricks-deleting-a-site-that-has-subsites-yes-you-can-despite-what-the-error-message-says-aspx/ Technologies project that I wrote a simple "DeleteWeb" program to overcome the fact that stsadm.exe -o deleteweb doesn't work on sites that have subsites. Note that there really wasn't much to the DeleteWeb program. Almost all of the work was performed by the DeleteHelper class: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jjameson/2010/05/27/using-powershell-to-delete-a-site-with-subsites-in-sharepoint-server-2010/ style="color: #0000ff">using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Globalization; using Microsoft.SharePoint; namespace DeleteWeb { public sealed class DeleteHelper { private DeleteHelper() { } // all members are static public static void DeleteWeb( string siteUrl) { using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteUrl)) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { if (string.Compare(web.Url, siteUrl, true, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) != 0) { throw new InvalidOperationException( "Invalid Web URL.

But there is a problem of web-frontend server (I did not know when I created the site), so the page is always in processing. After waiting 40 mins, I closed the page. When the problem of web-frontend server solved, I found the site link sharepoint 2010 delete already existed, but I cannot connect to site and I cannot delete it in Central Administration. Try to delete site collection in Application Management, failed I select my site collection in Central Administration. For example, if I navigate to Application Management > View all site collections> selecte site collection, there is no information on the right side. No database, no adminitrator, nothing. Use PowerShell to delete site collection, failed Remove-SPSite -Identity http://domain/sites/sitename" Nothing change I think I just created a link, no database connect to this site collection. How could I delete this site collection?

Error messages like this that don't give you a way to solve the problem are a sign of the devil to me. That Correlation ID does us no good (try to find the administrator in a large organization to help you out in a timely way) and there's no good way to find out where the Content Type is in use. In many cases the Content Type may be in use with real content. However, in the instance where you are prototyping something and delete the list where you were using the Content Type, you know that it's not in use anymore, right? Well, it's still in use, actually, but only sort of. When you delete the list, it goes into the Site Recycle Bin, so it actually still exists. It's a great safety feature, but in this case, it's getting in our way. You need to delete that list from the Site Recycle Bin as well as the Site Collection Recycle Bin.
