Cannot delete a Corrupted lookup Column from the list

Issue : Just Today i came accross a issue in Which the User had a List with many columns and One of the column Which was a look up column was corrupted

used to give a error "Unknown Error"

We were not able to Delete or edit the column

After a lot of research we found a work around to delete the Column

Checked the Url and found the below

/_layouts/FldEditex.aspx?List=%7B37920121%2D19B2%2D4C77%2D92FF%2D8B3E07853114%7D&Field=Product%5Fx0020%5FDescription

Which is a wrong url it should be

/_layouts/FldEdit.aspx?List=%7B37920121%2D19B2%2D4C77%2D92FF%2D8B3E07853114%7D&Field=Product%5Fx0020%5FDescription

Just remove ex from FldEditex.aspx => FldEdit.aspx

And you will be able to get to the inside of the column where you can edit or Delete the column .

Cause - Unknown

An unexpected error has occurred

Problem Description:

If you try to import a spreadsheet from within SharePoint Designer 2010 to create a list in SharePoint 2010 then you will get an error

"An unexpected error has occurred."

What exactly I am doing:

1.   Browse to a SharePoint site

2.   From the Site Settings menu click on "Edit In SharePoint Designer"

3.   Within SharePoint Designer, choose left menu "Lists and Items"

4.   From the Ribbon menu click "List from Spreadsheet"

5.   SharePoint Designer will launch the SharePoint site within a browser

6.   Add a title on the list and choose File then click Import

7.   You will get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

After hours of troubleshooting and debugging, I got this issue resolved by using the following workaround.

Workaround:

1.   The URL when you try to load the page from SharePoint Designer will look something like the following and it will not work:

          http://server/_layouts/new.aspx?ListTemplate=SpreadsheetImport

2.   Append to the URL on the page that is being called from Sharepoint Designer with the following and reload the page.

          &ListBaseType=0&DisplayName=Spreadsheet+Import

Example:

http://server/_layouts/new.aspx?ListTemplate=SpreadsheetImport&ListBaseType=0&DisplayName=Spreadsheet+Import
