I was using the ad groups blocks to display ads on my site. At the same time I have blockcache module installed which creates a cached copy of the each block. Consequently I had dozens of extra blocks created. The settings of the cached group ad block kept on going back to default which requires a refresh at every single node update and so on so I decided to remove the ad groups but the blocks for each of the groups still remain. I have no idea what these blocks can do and why they won't delete. Logically if the group has been deleted, that groups blocks should get deleted as well. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing the same problem without the blockcache module.

OK, this appears to have something to do with the views module (at least for me). Apparently, the advertisement module generates some blocks with the views module. I found that by going to the views module and then disabling the views associated with the ad groups, the problem was solved and the blocks no longer appeared on the block admin page.

By the way, I was also getting a lot of postgresql errors on the block admin page as a result of this problem. They also cleared up once I disabled those views.

UPDATE: The database errors mentioned above were actually the result of http://drupal.org/node/200575
