I’m trying to drop an index that I have but when I execute the statement it just runs and runs (up to 30 mins before i stopped it last time). Has anyone ever run into this before? Any suggestions on how to free it up for deletion?

Use Adam Machanic’s awesome WhoIsActive script to find out which other transaction is blocking your DROP statement, then wait for that to finish, ask the user to disconnect or just
KILLthe session.
