Retracting SharePoint solution stuck hangs

Question

When I was retracting a SharePoint solution over the Central Administration, the retracting job took a long time and It couldn't be done successfully as below:

Please, help me to know How I can remove a SharePoint solution in retracting status in SharePoint Central Administration.

Answer 1

so I did the following to remove the stuck SharePoint solution (Retracting) from SharePoint central administration

• In Services, Check SharePoint administration service is running or not. If it is running, please restart it(stop and start)

• Try to uninstall it again. if it is still stuck execute the below command to know more about pending jobs

   stsadm -o enumdeployments
  

• Now, try to remove the solution with force command

   Remove-SPSolution -Identity your.wsp -force
  

  

• Go back to the solution management it should be removed now, 

• try now to install it again that should be deployed successfully.
