    Hello,

    we are running EE 2.5.3 and MSM 2.1.4

    Im unable to delete a site, trying so leads to error 1091:

    A Database Error Occurred
    Error Number: 1091
    Can't DROP 'field_id_632'; check that column/key exists
    ALTER TABLE `exp_channel_data` DROP `field_id_632`
    Filename: controllers/cp/sites.php
    Line Number: 1991


    Checking the database: this column is indeed missing.


    I found some references about the same problem:
    http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/213265/

    So I could try to delete the site manually (site_id is mentioned in >20 tables).


    ...but i also found this topic which leads to the conclusion I should never touch the database manually:
    http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/223268/

    Is there any solution for this problem, or is there another (safe) way to delete a site manually?
    If the solution for me would be to delete every reference for that site_id manually, thats fine for me - but I dont want to run into trouble later when I need to update to a new release.


    Thank you,
    Lars
