Using Tridion PurgeAppData Tool

Yesterday I experienced a strange issue where the publication property cannot be accessed due to the following error:

The item tcm:0-167-65568 does not exist



Seems like this group ID was somehow removed or corrupted.

Good thing, there is a solution to purge the application data tied to this publication.

Out of the box, Tridion comes with a tool in the Tridion\bin folder called "PurgeAppData.exe". Using this tool we can purge old app data specific to permission, translation configurations, workflow, etc....

By going into CMD, and doing a PurgeAppData.exe list command, I can see all the app data in the CM.

The one I wanted to purge in this scenario is the tm:Rights app data.

The command would be: PurgeAppData.exe purge:tm:Rights



After purging, I can now access the publication property again =)
