I created a Page view and added a menu item for it. Later I decided I didn't want the menu and set it to None. The problem is that it is still there and it seems to be impossible to remove it from the core menu administration as it only has an Edit option, no delete option. Only way I could make it non visible is to disable it.

Another thing I tried was to change it to the from the Main Menu to the Navigation menu, but that to doesn't do anything. It is still in the Main Menu and nothing shows up in the Navigation.

You have to edit the view, to remove the item again.

This is how it works: it provides a hook_menu entry. So this behaviour is by design at the moment.

Yes, I have edited the view setting for the menu in every way possible, saving and flushing cashes. But it is still there.

This is on my dev server. Will this menu, despite having been set back to non in Views, be created when I move this view to the live site, or is it just that Views simply can't remove it from the Drupal menu system?

With the possible addition of clearing the cache, as you've done, this should just work.

In the Views UI:
Try setting the menu again, and change it's value to something new, to see if the menu updates. Then unset the menu setting in the UI again. Just to be safe, clear the cache after each of the two operations.
Let's hope something "got stuck" and we can get it working like this.

If this still doesn't, please export the View, so that we can have a look at it.

Oki, renaming the menu works, but not unsetting (no menu) it. It still remains in the menu with only an Edit button as command.

I don't think this problem is exported with the View though. I tested exporting this view with no menu and on the site I imported it on, the menu did not appear. So at least this is just a problem on my dev site.

Anways, below is the export of this view. I am using the latest dev version, even if the view says api_version is alpha 1. Guessing its a hardcoded version number in the module...

Right this doesn't matter. Views does nothing special here. It should really clear the menu items if you rebuild the cache.

I've played with this, and the issue happens. However, Views is doing the right thing. The bug is in core.

The workaround is to change it to a tab or something that will remove it from the menu, and then change it to no menu item, which seems to work. Core needs to fix the issue.

@merlinofchaos Oki, I reopen this and move it to the core queue instead then.

I made another menu called "Temp" and then went through and assigned the pages to that menu. I could then delete the Temp menu and go back through the views UI and reassign the page views with new paths to the normal menu again. A little dirty, but it seemed to do the trick.
