Also you are using a filter in the query ( and p.name = '') which is trying to select a publication which has no name.

I was trying your script in step 3, but it seems that trigger names in my case starts with MSmerge_ instead of ('ins' or 'upd' or 'del' ) like you presume, which is causing the list of drop trigger script to be empty, Is it expected to be different between systems ?

Also the other answer in step 5 is referring to run a script to delete left behind triggers even after dropping everything using T-SQL commands!! so this means even if I use T-SQL commands, I still might have some replication meta data left in the setup!! Is this really possible ? Is there any Official Microsoft document to clarify how this should be done ?

Yes, You are right, I used GUI to drop subscriptions and publication and also disable publishing & distribution, but why using The GUI is different than using T-SQL commands ? isn't it at the end the same commands executed in the background ?

I will try to post today new questions about some of the issues I am facing with the current setup so we can try to investigate it more further.

Thanks for your feedback, I have already contacted Microsoft regarding multiple issues we faced which eventually seemed to be a bug in their product, but the problem is that each time I face an issue, it is taking too much time to investigate & solve it in accepted time frame for our business, so for that we were looking for another solution.

comment How to troubleshoot SQL Server Merge Replication Conflict?
After trying your approach for a few days, it seems that it is not catching all changes that is made to one table!! Is there any better way to troubleshoot these issues?
