Schema synchronization may result in deleted data referencing a table that doesn't exist

Running into an odd situation when trying to create a new table in NAV. Created a new table in NAV under my custom object range and when I go to compile the object I get the following error:

The schema synchronization may result in deleted data...

It then references a linked table that was from 5 years ago and deleted. Some observations are we did a clean install 2 years ago and imported all active objects into a new database. The phantom table wasn't part of that but it seems to have been in metadata somewhere? I'm not able to force a synch through Object Designer or Powershell at this point. I could just use a different object number but I would like to clean this up.

I was thinking of recreating the phantom table in its entirety and see if I can then go through the delete process again. It seems to be an issue with the fact that it was a linked table. The associated view no longer exists and hasn't for years.

Thanks for any suggestions.

This is resolved. I was able to find it was an issue with the Metadata Snapshot being out of synch. There's a Database Check Tool on MS that I ran that found the issue and the resolution was to synch the Snapshot to SQL.

Hi Spider...Any chance you could elaborate on this tool, and how you used it? I'm hitting the same issue you were.
