I’ve deleted a database but the Store and Forward engine is still in place.  
Throughput is “N/A”, quarantined is 0 and activity is “unavailable”.

I can’t find a way to delete the Store and Forward Engine.  
I’m sure it’s not causing any problems but how do I get rid of it?

Try adding the database with the exact same name. Then delete the database again, store and forward will get removed too. It worked for me.

Thanks for the response - I found that it worked for me too after updating to a new version (sorry, don’t recall from or to version numbers, it’s been a while).
