[Archivesspace_Users_Group] How to delete a populated repository?

[Mark Cyzyk]

All,

Does anyone know how to delete a populated repository?  (We 
inadvertently clicked the wrong thing while performing a migration which 
set in stone our previously-pushed-through erroneous recordset.)

I tried to Delete, but it won't delete a repository if it is populated.
I tried to simply move that repository, transferring its content into a 
dummy repository for the time being.  No joy.  ("There was an error")
I reran the ./scripts/setup-database.sh script hoping it might drop each 
table before recreating/reinitializing.  No joy.
I attempted to Drop tables individually but can't because of foreign key 
constraints.

The only other thing I can think to do is to drop, then recreate, the 
whole DB schema in MySQL (which, insofar as I don't have root access 
there, I can't do).

I kind of expected the Delete button would delete the repository -- 
including all its content -- and not leave behind any orphans in the 
backend database?

How can I delete this pesky repository?!

Advice much appreciated,

Mark
