I've checked out the home page of a sub-site to my site collection and now it's broken with this error, and I don't know how to roll it back to the earlier version:

Error 
List does not exist.

The page you selected contains a list that does not exist.  It may have been deleted by another user.

Non-admin users can view the unbroken site just fine. Is there a way to roll the page/site back to the version that wasn't broken? I'm not sure how to discard the checkout.

Found a rather obscure way of getting to the broken site/page: codepoll.com/cp-Sharepoint/category/MS-SharePoint/post/…. You put ?contents=1 on the URL to the broken site and load it. Then from there you can delete the list that's causing the issue and also discard the checkout. I wish there was an easier way to fix these things. Maybe there is and I'm not aware of it. – Alex C Jul 17 '11 at 6:55

That's the way to call the webpart maintenance page, here is a link with more url parameters. The post is about 2007, but also applies to 2010: http://www.itidea.nl/index.php/url-parameters-for-sharepoint-2007/
