Are the markups permanent or temporary: this may have a big impact on the approach you can take? If temporary they should be created in the Session Repository which should at least avoid whatever may be causing corruption of the main repository. If users are creating their own markups do they need to share the same resource? Why can't they each have their own temporary session based SDF? This will probably avoid any corruption.
The fact that you are trying to delete them suggests they are somewhat temporary. If they were created based on the session id then when the session expires you might create a process to delete the expired ones. Just a thought.

As an example, we created an application that allows users to each create, modify and display redlines from the same SDF file (as per the sample). We were recently informed by Autodesk that the SDF format is not meant to serve as a mutli-user creation format (which is an undocumented feature by the way!). During our testing when multiple users create redlines at the same time - the repository become corrupt and forces us restore the previous MapGuide package (does anyone know how to automate the deletion of SDF files in the repository without knowing the names of the repository names - i.e. the users create redlines and we do not know the repository names) The big ask: Does anyone have any experience creating redlines in anything other than SDF, notable SQL Server 2005, GML, KML, etc (we are not an Oracle or PostGIS shop) or any other work arounds we would greatly appreciated we are at a loss and in a time crunch.
