Deleted Model...but page still shows in Admin?

[Ryan Nevius]

I had a custom page model called "OurStoryPage". I deleted this page model and ran migrations, but it's still showing in the admin.

I can navigate to the page edit screen in the Admin...but I can't delete it or update it. Instead, I get the following error:

Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/pages/24/delete/
Django Version:	1.7.7
Exception Type:	DoesNotExist
Exception Value:	OurStoryPage matching query does not exist.
Exception Location:	/vagrant/.venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py in get, line 357

I thought this was odd, so I headed to the shell to try to delete in manually. In the shell, I tried to delete the page by using `Page.objects.filter(id=24)[0].delete()`.

The page is successfully queried and found, but running `delete()` returns `pages.models.DoesNotExist: OurStoryPage matching query does not exist.`

Any ideas what's going on? I'm assuming it's some kind of relationship that still exists in the database...but I'm wondering if I'm just missing something simple.

[Ryan Nevius]

I guess I should clarify...By "it's still showing in the Admin', I mean that a page instance (of the OurStoryPage type) is showing.

If the page still exists in the db it should be listed in the table wagtailcore_page provided it's part of the Page class.

If it the page with id 24 isn't in wagtailcore_page, wild thought: cache issue?

[Brett Grace]

If I understand correctly, you dropped the table for the OurStoryPage model while you had instances of it in the page hierarchy? I can imagine that this put things into an inconsistent state. I wonder if the "fixtree" management command can garbage collect that node (I'm not sure how conservative it is with your data so take a snapshot of the database first).

[Ryan Nevius]

You're correct. The fixtree command didn't do it for me. In the end, I restored an earlier snapshot of the database. 

Thanks for the help!
