 * Ok I was having server difficulties this morning when I went to save an entry
   and it took forever, timed out and apparently didn’t finish adding the entry 
   to the database. So now when I goto edit I get lots of php errors in the category
   pane and all that and when I try to delete the entry it says “Error deleting…”
   and thats all I can do. I tried resaving the entry with random junk in it and
   it fixed the category pane but didn’t fix the rest as it still won’t delete. 
   How do I remove this entry?
    PS. Not afraid to use the mysql stuff so if you 
   wanna provide info for removing it from the database like that feel free, any
   help is great.

 * You could try using phpmyadmin, then finding the post in the ‘wp_posts’ table
   and deleting it from there. I’ve not done this mind, but it should be straightforward(
   in other words, at your own risk !).
    Log into phpmyadmin. Click the name of 
   your database A list of tables should appear, and click the small icon that indicates‘
   Browse’ next to ‘wp_posts’ (screenshot here may help: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/phpmyadmin/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/phpmyadmin/))
   then delete the post when you find it. When wp deletes a post, I do NOT know 
   what other changes it may or may not make to the database, so to be sure, you
   may want to wait until someone has posted here as to the usefulness of what I
   have just written.
