so i am trying to remove the orphans site collections , using the following command:-

$ContentDBColl = Get-SPContentDatabase
ForEach ($Database in $ContentDBColl)
{
   Write-Host "Detecting Orphans for " $Database.Name
   $Database.Repair($true)
}

but i got the following error:-

Exception calling "Repair" with "1" argument(s): "Invalid object name 'TVF_AllDocs_DelIdUrl'. Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1." At line:4 char:4 + $Database.Repair($true) + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SqlException

as follow:-

so can anyone advice on this please? Thanks

EDIT now i try removing the orphan site collection as follow:-

stsadm -o deletesite -force   -siteid 016ffbd0-7d5a-46
9d-83c5-e9b67dbb2ba3   -databasename WSS_Content  -databaseserver t***1\sha
repoint

but it raised the following exception:-

Invalid object name 'TVF_Sites_Id'. The 'proc_DeleteSite' procedure attempted to return a status of NULL, which is n ot allowed. A status of 0 will be returned instead.

Typically when these types of errors occur, it is best to abandon the Content Database. Create a new Content Database on the Web Application, then use Move-SPSite to migrate each Site Collection to the new database. Once you've migrated to the new Content Database, perform an iisreset, then detach the old Content Database.

so can you please specify the commands to do so ? or describe in more details the required steps in general ? – john Gu Feb 10 '16 at 16:15
More information about Move-SPSite can be found at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607915.aspx. The cmdlet is simple: Move-SPSite http://siteUrl -DestinationDatabase NewDatabase – Trevor Seward Feb 10 '16 at 16:17
ok thanks ,, but now i use to have 8 site collections inside the content database, but after i dismount and mount the content database , i see 11 site collections under the content database.. the additional 3 site collection are old sites that i have removed (orphands) so do i need to move all the site collection to the new content database ? inclining orphans ?can u please adivce? – john Gu Feb 10 '16 at 16:21

Right, but why would you migrate what you're not using? Just migrate the Site Collections you need. – Trevor Seward Feb 10 '16 at 16:36

Ah you're stuck. I'd suggest you create a PSS case with Microsoft as they may give you what are otherwise unsupported methods to fix the issue. – Trevor Seward Feb 10 '16 at 17:46

I had Orphaned sites after running Move_SPSite. The solution for me was found on this webpage.

To summarise, get the orphaned site ID by running this command on the SharePoint Server:

stsadm -o enumallwebs -DatabaseName "ContentDB_Name"

Then:

stsadm -o deletesite -force -SiteID **ORPHANED SITE ID** -DatebaseName "ContentDB_NAME" -DatabaseServer "SQL_Server"
