How to remove tabs from left hand nav views?

chrisorourke

Recently started evaluating a few new modules and suddenly have duplicate tabs in most of our views.

When trying to get rid of the duped "summary" we have no ability to delete it nor does it show anything.

Is there a de-duper script we can run or will I need to edit each view for each account/group?

I think he's run into a bug I've had to fix before in a number of client sites.  The modules seem to do a poor job of validating the some of the OOTB views already exist and so they create duplicates with minor variations on the names. Annoying things that arent obvious in the GUI like adding trailing spaces and marking the pages as system tabs that cannot be deleted.

When I see this I've always had to go into Database Manager and design the script to find this psuedo duplicates and manually remove them.  Each time I've done it there have been differences so I don't have anything saved that i would call a reliable solution that I'd let anyone else risk running.  The least risky method is just to click the tab you want to delete and see the viewid in the URL bar, then find that viewid and delete directly from the views table.
