[GRASS-user] How to force remove broken vector layers?

[Allar Haav]

Hi,

As for the latest compiled WinGRASS7, which at the moment (from osgeo4w) 
is r55677-547, then this gives the error right at the startup of grass7 
(i.e. after g.gui command):
GRASS 7.0.svn> Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\gui\wxpython\wxgui.py", 
line 34, in <module>
     from lmgr.frame import GMFrame
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\gui\wxpython\lmgr\frame.py", 
line 69, in <module>
     from lmgr.pyshell          import PyShellWindow
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\gui\wxpython\lmgr\pyshell.py", 
line 27, in <module>
     import grass.pygrass as pygrass
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\python\grass\pygrass\__init__.py", 
line 17, in <module>
     import modules
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\python\grass\pygrass\modules\__init__.py", 
line 11, in <module>
     import grid
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\python\grass\pygrass\modules\grid\__init__.py", 
line 9, in <module>
     import grid
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\python\grass\pygrass\modules\grid\grid.py", 
line 20, in <module>
     _GREG = Module('g.region')
   File 
"C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn\etc\python\grass\pygrass\modules\interface\module.py", 
line 87, in __init__
     raise GrassError(str_err % self.name)
grass.pygrass.errors.GrassError: "Module 'g.region' not found, please 
check that the module exist"

Therefore I've been using an older build (r55595-540) with which I have 
this curious vector layer deletion issue (which I'm sure I didn't have a 
few weeks ago at least). It doesn't matter whether I try to do it in a 
script or not, g.remove does not remove vector layers completely. It 
seems to get stuck with hist file. There is a chance though that the 
issue isn't apparent in a newer build.
One probable solution would be moving on to Unix though.
