I was able to delete most of the documents by using Explorer. However, there's a folder that was created by replication from another server that I can't remove! It has several "P:trx:*" aspects, but trying to remove them programmatically I get an exception that the node is locked. How can I unlock the folder? My app is Java and I have the CmisSession and also the AlfrescoFolder objects, but all I can find is:

cmisSession.getBinding().getVersioningService().cancelCheckOut(repoId, objectId, null);

which throws an exception. I think I need the lockService, but I don't know how to get a reference to that.

I have narrowed down the problem further. The source folder has been removed, so the node reference in the destination project is now invalid/orphaned. Any way to clear this out? Can I just attach directly to the postgresql db and remove the reference myself? I can see the invalid reference when using explorer so I have the id of the bad reference.

This seems like a poor design or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
