kareemshamel When are you getting this error? While deleting indexed column or changing the column type?
Did you try my suggestion above to delete indexed column before changing column type?

ganeshsanap Hi, i have the exact same problem in my list. I am unable to change the column type and if i try to delete the index the task never gets completed and remains stuck with the message "Wait It should not take long".

Gabriele16 jamaalmch This seems to be a bug while deleting index on columns. What is the data type of column? How many items are there in list currently?
