Steps to reproduce

  1. Install a clean Drupal 8 with the Standard installation profile
  2. Go to admin/structure/menu/manage/main and disable the Home menu item. This will write the menu item to core.menu.static_menu_link_overrides.
  3. Delete file core/profiles/standard/standard.links.menu.yml
  4. Clear cache
  5. Try to delete the orphaned menu item:
    $home_manager = \Drupal::service('plugin.manager.menu.link');
$home_manager->removeDefinition('standard.front_page');

Expected behavior

We are able to delete the menu item.

Actual behavior

We get the following error:

Uncaught PHP Exception Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginException: "Menu link plugin with ID 'standard.front_page' does not support deletion".

Also, trying to reset the menu item at admin/structure/menu/link/standard.front_page/reset results in a fatal error:

Recoverable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Drupal\Core\Menu\MenuTreeStorage::save() must be of the type array, null given, called in /Users/wim.mostrey/Sites/drupal82/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Menu/MenuLinkManager.php on line 406 and defined in /Users/wim.mostrey/Sites/drupal82/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Menu/MenuTreeStorage.php on line 257

We are now stuck with a menu item that can not be deleted nor reset.
