There are many instances where a wepart breaks a MOSS page. It could be a custom webpart that you dropped on the page or it could be that you are trying to deploy the site in a new environment. Whatever the reason is, it is helpful to be able to remove broken webparts from a page.
In order to see the Webparts maintenance section of any page, simple add “contents=1″ as a parameter in the query string in your address bar. For example, if your broken page is at the following URL: http://mysite/mypage.aspx then in the addressbar type http://mysite/mypage.aspx?contents=1
Ever wondered what happens when you “close” a webpart? It doesn’t get deleted but rather sits on the page in a hidden state. This trick will let you remove any closed webparts that you don’t want anymore.

Thank you so very much. Those “Web part errors” are really annoying.
