Hi Christine

You can simply just touch the web.config in order to recycle the app pool. Just open your web.config file from the website root and then hit "Save".

Hope this helps.

Thanks I did try this, but the error message presists.  When I try to delete a template in the back office I get this message as well:

"Server error: Contact administrator, see log for full details.

Failed to delete item 1084"

Hi Christine

Ok - Is it possible for you to delete the templates and then re-create them in Umbraco first before you edit them in Visual Studio?

Before doing so make sure to copy the templates on disk into a temporary folder so you can easily copy/paste the content into the new templates afterwards.

This should do the trick so the error disappears. The key is to create the template using Umbraco and then just edit them using visual studio or whatever editor you fancy.

Hope this makes sense.

I can do this moving forward, but the problem is I deleted the templates in Visual studio and now I cannot delete or save any templates in Umbraco

Hi Christine

Have you tried recreating the templates on disk instead then? Does that help?

Otherwise you might need to have a peek in the database and delete the templates that way around.

I deleted the rows of the duplicate tempates in the database, but now I can't access any templates in the back office :( 

Hi Christine

I assume you did take a backup before doing so?

What error message do you see now? Please post it in here.
