Cannot Delete Maintenance Plans - SQL 2005

A consultant created a maintenance plan that isn't in use and is not
enabled. I want to delete the plan but get the following error.
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
--
Drop failed for Job 'Maintenance II'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I"m such a noob, how can i delete this plan?
tia,
Randy>From what I can tell from the error msg, the job you are trying to
delete has a subplan that references it and you can't delete it until
you get rid of the subplan.
How I would do this:
1.) get job id #
2.) look up job id# in the system table in question
3.) find the subplan for the job id #
4.) delete subplan
4.) delete job
proceed with caution and don't delete anything unless 100% sure !
you should back up your jobs first, too in case something blows up
perhaps there is an easier way to do this through the menus in
Management Studio
