How did you fix this? I'm having a similar issue, with a deleted from Aggregate showing up on my devices.
GoogleAppEngine shows errors for /gae/formDeleteTask.
Running 1.4.13. I have not tried the steps in that post but I intend to do so ASAP. However, I think I've deleted my local Aggregate install, so I'm wondering how to access the folder now.
Also, will this lead to a loss in data? We currently have 3 active forms and I cant risk a drop or change in this for even a single day'.
It's a safe operation, but safe operations can fail and so it's always a good idea to assume you will lose data and plan accordingly.
Try the process on a test server (go from B2 to B4, then back to B2) so you understand it.
Perform a backup (ODK Briefcase is great for this) of your production forms and put it somewhere safe (ideally on another machine in another part of the world).
Ask your data collectors to stop submitting data for 24 hours, disable submissions in the Aggregate UI, then do the upgrade.
If you can't do a backup or give yourself 24 hours, then I'd wait until you can. And note that B4 servers will cost more than B2 servers so you might want to go back down to B2 at some point in the future.
Alternatively, you try to delete submissions in smaller groups (e.g., pick a date range, delete those, pick another date range, etc), then delete the form after all the submissions are gone.
