An object in the SharePoint administrative framework could not be deleted because other objects depend on it.

Today I was trying to delete a corrupt Web Application to clean out my Web Application List in Central Administration.

The following error occured:

An object in the SharePoint administrative framework could not be deleted because other objects depend on it.

Step 1

My first step was to run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell (PowerShell). By using this command line:

stsadm -o enumdeployments

I was able to trace the currently running deployment jobs.

Step 2

The second step was copying the JobId and run the following command line:

stsadm -o canceldeployment -id “JobId”

Now I can go on removing my Web Application, without any errors.
