Cannot delete feature class

KevinReeves — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:44:00 GMT

I am having a problem deleting a feature class from our SDE. Apparently the table was deleted in Oracle, but the feature class still shows up in the dataset. It actually won't let me do anything with the feature class because it has no table. We are running ArcGIS 10 with Oracle 11g. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried deleting it through ArcCatalog as well as SQLPlus.

Thanks,
Kevin

Its not just hanging around by any chance.. go into sql plus and type 'purge recyclebin;'

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work.

Try creating a table with the same name and owner in Oracle. Then go back to ArcCatalog and delete the feature class.
