Just an FYI, this still works after all these years. I am working on upgrading a 7.5 p1 clone of production to 7.6.04 SP4. We have a corrupt form for years that we couldn't delete using Dev Studio. The error is logged each time we restart ARS but no other impact so we left it. I am working on cleaning up all of these things before running the upgrade and I found the Admin Tool 7.1 was able to remove it. There was a SQL error when I deleted the form but I am not too surprised.
There is no more error when restarting Remedy and the form is gone from Dev Studio. I am going to validate a little more but so far it appears to have worked great!
