I am having an issue with Phantom items in the Open Data Beta.  Basically, it will create two records for the same item, one gets update and the other does not.  It happens when changing ownership and index number.  I am able to reproduce this problem by following steps:

1.  Create an Feature Layer in AGOL under first user (ex myUser).  I used URL of https://myOrg.com/arcgis/rest/services/myFolder/mySerice/MapServer/13 for example

2. Assign Feature Layer to a group(s).

3. Change ownership to a different user (ex myOrg)

4. In a new browser tab, update index in Open Data data manager

5. In previous AGOL tab, change layer index in URL.  Example change 13 to 7 so that it is now  https://myOrg.com/arcgis/rest/services/myFolder/mySerice/MapServer/7

6. In previous Open Data tab, update index in Open Data data manager

You show now have two records for the same layer but with different users each.  You can test this by deleting feature layer.  One of the records will disappear and the other will remain.  In addition, the remaining layer points to a broken URL.  

I have been unable to remove these phantom item records no matter what I try.  Here is some screen shots on an example (Railroad).

Does anyone know how to remove these phantom items?   Thanks,

I've also experienced problems with an orphan layer that I've ,unsuccessfully, tried to remove. After removing all share privileges and the Group share the layer continued to appear. Presently the layer appears 3 times , 2- orphans and 1 valid reference.

The orphan URLs are:

Hi Terry, 

We've removed these from the index.

How long should we expect to wait before unwanted/phantom datasets go away on their own? I have a couple more today even though I have unshared from open data. I know the index gets updated routinely but it may not be often enough based on all of the manual intervention your team has to do. And using the index buttons on the management page does not seem to do anything than generate a message that something is happening (but no moving icons as in the past).  thanks-

Hi Courtney,

We had to change several of services which caused many phantom items.  Can you remove:
