Hi Amien,

I think that this occurred because you deleted the qvw files, correct?

I've also had this problem a while ago. Take a look on this post: http://community.qlik.com/forums/p/26401/101157.aspx#101157

You basically have to:

1. create a dummy qvw file (with the same name as the task's file) in the folder

2. disable the task

3. delete the dummy file you've created.

Voilá.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Fernando

Amien have you checked the orphans folder under the documents tab. I have had a similar issue and found them in the orphans folder and once I deleted the task from the folder the problem was solved.
