Uninstall "site collection features" from site collection and weird "links" under site settings

Question

Hi folks,

We downgraded from MOSS 2007 to WSS 3.0, and we are in the process of cleaning up the farm a little bit.
The farm is stable, but some leftover from MOSS are still present, some of them are the invalid "site collection features", see image #1 below.

I run the stsadm -o uninstallfeature -force -filename "SignaturesWorkflow\Feature.xml" command, and it completed successfully, but the Collect Signature Workflow still shows up in the site collection features list :(

If I have to manually remove it from some XML/config files, please suggest so and pointing out which files.

Also, under Site Settings, we see these broken $Resources: links which point to some MOSS ASPX pages not present in WSS 3.0 -see image #2 below
How do I clean them up?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
...Alex

Try an IISRESET after the uninstallation.........

I don't think that downgrades are supported.

I would have created a new copy of WSS 3.0 on a new server and then moved sites and possibly lists via Save Site/List as Template. If the use of the template works than OK. If not then it contains MOSS only things.

Mike,
Yes, you are right we didn't downgrade per se. What I meant was we went from MOSS to WSS :) migrating site collection by site collection from MOSS to a clean WSS farm. However, there are still leftovers as mentioned on the original post.

How do you suggest to remove those MOSS features from the WSS farm? I don't know where else to look :(

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Answer 4

I gotta confess, I was skeptic about just restarting IIS services, but it worked! :)
The "Collect Signature Workflow" is gone from the site collection features... thanks!

Any clue about the links on the "site settings" page? Maybe I gotta try to edit it with MS Designer...what do you think?
