Hi Ole, I was faced to a similar problem this days. Umlauts have blocked the removement via the web interface. I've tryed the scripts from Sergiu Dumitriu without luck, too. But with these little mods they run fine: *Change "BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%" in that way that you get only the ones with the wrong space title back* {{velocity}} #foreach ($d in $xwiki.searchDocuments("where doc.space like 'BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%'")) #set ($d = $xwiki.getDocument($d)) $d.fullName #end {{/velocity}} Then exchange *$d.fullName* by *$d.delete()* and run the script again. This removes all Spaces like 'BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%' without confirmation and success message. {{velocity}} #foreach ($d in $xwiki.searchDocuments("where doc.space like 'BEGIN UMLAUTS TITLED SPACE%'")) #set ($d = $xwiki.getDocument($d)) $d.delete() #end {{/velocity}} Thank you Sergiu Dumitriu for sharing. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Delete-Spaces-with-broken-Umlauts-tp758286...
