I have IIS 6 running on Windows Server 2003 SP2 with several web sites running. I'm in the process of cleaning up the server. There is one web site in particular I cannot delete:

  • I have stopped the web site
  • When I right-click the web site in IIS to bring up the context menu, "delete" is missing (unlike other sites running on this server)
  • If I select the site in IIS and press the delete key, nothing happens

Any ideas what might be causing this and what I can do to remedy?

Can you stop the WWW service and delete the site? – Seth Apr 19 '11 at 19:19
as to causes there may be Sessions/Files in use relating to the site in Computer Management/Shared Folders... – Seth Apr 19 '11 at 19:21
Could this be a permission issue? Are you an admin on the system? – Peter Apr 19 '11 at 19:21
Seth, I restarted the WWW service (restarted IIS), and this resolved the problem. Thanks! – Mike Strother Apr 19 '11 at 19:59

Check restarting the WWW service to see if that fixes it.
