OEM: Remove server - get error message - Object does not exist?

Question

Our admin is currently away and I was tasked with "keeping the lights on".

Recently one of my team members was playing around in our DEV environment and seems to have added something to our OBIEE server?

When I log into oracle enterprise manager I see the following

The one item "default_web" is not expected, and I tried to hit the "Delete" button but hit the following error

I thought maybe something was hanging somewhere and tried to re-start everything and also hit the following error

When I try to log in to our application OBIEE 11.1.1.7.14025 it looks like everything is up and running?

But looking in the admin console its showing 1 application is down - which is the one above that I tried to delete to no avail.

What am I missing? I just want to get rid of that one server

Im not even sure where to begin to even google to read up on how to get rid of this item.

Depends on your server. With Linux you can for example just back up the whole install folder of OBI and boom you got your whole env

Argh - no back up that I am aware of.

Actually now that you mentioned that, how would one create a back up?

I can try searching around to see what we may have, not sure if its a single file of some sort (fingers crossed) ?

No chance you have a backup from before that was added? Removing corrupt installs sometimes is simply not possible.
