What is a good way to delete a stuck batch in Drupal 7?

It is on a production server, we are using the Background Batch module so it shows us which one it is at admin/config/system/batch/overview.enter image description here

I know I can just run a query and delete that row from the DB but wondering about other cleanup I should do too.

Another approach (if you don't want to run sql-statements directly) would be Queue UI:

  • View queues and number of items
  • Developers can define meta info about queues they create and process
  • Process queue with Batch API
  • Process queue during cron
  • Remove leases
  • Delete queue

  • Thanks, was looking for something quick and easy to run on a production server without committing new code. Does this delete batches though or just queues?

    batches are treated as queues, so yes.

In my case the batch ID is 5166:

DELETE FROM batch WHERE bid IN (5166);

In our case we are using Better Batch and we also needed to run:

DELETE FROM better_batch WHERE bid IN (5166); otherwise we received an infinite redirect message in Chrome "too many redirects".
