 Description   

After trying to import a template file (previously exported from another installation) i ended up with multiple entries with the same name (at least according to your UI).

When I am trying to delete these node I get an error message that the name contains illegal characters.

1. Why does it create nodes with illegal characters and then won't let me delete them?

2. How do i remove this node?

We sometimes end up with duplicate node names (same-name-siblings) for one reason or another.

To get rid of them, first rename them, so the names are different. Then they can be deleted without trouble. Best to do this as superuser, to avoid confusion with permissions problems.

Hi Tomas,

note that same name siblings are not created by Magnolia, those nodes can be just imported.
As Richard already pointed out you can get rid of them by renaming and then removing. Also from 4.5 version deletion works fine.
