I recently tried to 'upgrade' my Views from 1.5 to 1.6beta4. Doing so has corrupted my views database. After reuploading the 1.5 version, my view pages still work, but I could no longer create or modify existing views. Doing so results in Drupal generating a blank white page.

How would I go about doing a clean manual uninstall of the views module if I have access to the mySQL database? Can someone tell me which tables I will need to remove? Or will it be more complicated than that?

In addition, is the 1.6beta stable enough for a production website, or should I stick with 1.5. However, I worry that the 1.5 will not upgrade cleanly to 1.6beta.

Thanks.

The 1.6beta is not currently stable enough for a production website, unfortunately. I recommend you downgrade to 1.5 (for most this has been clean, though at least one person has mentioned having problems in this regard).

If you visit http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views you will see a link to a page that will tell you how to uninstall Views completely. If using Drupal 5 you can also click the 'uninstall' tab on the modules page (after deactivating Views) and uninstall it from there. both methods should work; however, I would recommend reverting to 1.5 for now so that you don't have to go through all the work of re-creating your existing views. Unless you have very few custom views, in which case it may well be up to you.
