Google Forms Fail To Unlink from Sheet (Broken)

Question

hope someone can assist with this one.

We have created an app for a clients that creates pre-populated Google Forms linked back to a common spreadsheet with other sheets linked to forms. As the Form are completed the script locates the corresponding Forms, opens the Form and unlinks the Form from the spreadsheet. Then the sheet for the unlinked Form is removed from the spreadsheet

99% of the time this works as expected however at times the sheet can not be delete and the Form can not be unlinked removed by code or manually.

We also get sheets with a conflict message appended to the sheet name. Eg this is the 12,454th Form created and linked to the spreadsheet and the sheet name is "Form responses 12454_conflict1685393126" when it should be "Form responses 12454" These Forms also can not be Unlinked.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?
