Repair broken Web Part Page in SharePoint / Remove Web Part From Page

If you have a webpart that gives you errors, so you can’t even see your web part page making you unable to edit it, then theres a little trick.

You can remove Web Parts from pages, even if you can’t go into edit mode.
Simply add :
?contents=1

to the url for the page that does not work.

Example: http://code-journey.com/Pages/Default.aspx?contents=1

Now you can Click on “Check Out” the page and then check the Web Parts that are giving you trouble and click “Delete” to remove them.
