Thank you, as long as I can work around the problem that's fine. I have tried to vacuum. The status changes to "deleting", then reverts back to error after ~40min.
I've been told by Ryan on the AppEngine team, that there's 1 entity in the datastore that's causing the problem. I've tried to delete the entity via the AppEngine Dashboard, and after about 10 seconds returns "Server Error". thanks for your help.
