MissingFeature - SSharePoint 2013 - Missing server side dependencies.
[MissingFeature] Database [WSS_Content] has reference(s) to a missing feature: Id = [d57f4817-f1f9-42aa-863c-xxxxxxxx]. Feature (Id = [d57f4817-f1f9-42aa-863c-xxxxxxx]) is referenced in database [WSS_Content], but isn't installed on the current farm. The missing feature might cause upgrade to fail. If necessary, please install any solution that contains the feature and restart upgrade.
I have done the following:
http://get-spscripts.com/2011/06/removing-features-from-content-database.html
However still error....I have also queried the content db features and feature tracking table to no avail.....Also I haved astroGrep'd the wfe to no avail.....Any help would be appreciated?

Fixed:
The featureId was listed by doing the following query on the troubled content database:
SELECT * From AllLists (NOLOCK) WHERE tp_FeatureId = 'd57f4817-f1f9-42aa-863c-xxxxxxx'
Found that it was listed...removed from sql:
delete AllLists WHERE tp_FeatureId = 'd57f4817-f1f9-42aa-863c-xxxxxx'
**I know you are not supposed to this but I made a backup just in case....But now test-spcontentdatabase and SP 2013 Problems and solutions shows no more errors regarding missing server side dependencies....

Short and useful! Thank you!
Just keep in mind this is not supported.
Instead, this can be accomplished through the SharePoint OM. A free tool is available to do this - https://github.com/SharePointPog/FeatureAdmin/releases.
