Cannot activate or deactive a File Channel in Rich Client

I use File Channel/Receiver to initiate a process flow. It's been working fine until we had a problem with our system and the process hung due to bad data and an enormous file. To prevent it from kicking off again - I tried to deactivate the File Receiver. I didn't realize until now that the deactivation failed). I've tried to deactivate it again and I get an error that the receiver is not active. If I try to reactivate it - I get the error "Receiver must be in activated failed or inactive or failed state to activate" (the receiver IS in activate failed state but that isn't being recognized for some reason? I figured I'd try to delete the receiver completely and recreate it - but I get the error - Receiver must be in inactive state to delete. I can't think of anything else to try without simply recreating the entire File Channel and Receiver combination - but that just doesn't seem like a very logical resolution. I've attached some screen shots to this ticket. Thanks in advance for any help. - Laura
