Local fix
In IBM Process Designer, rename the BPD by removing ampersand (&) from the name before removing the advanced content.
Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2016.12 that does not result in errors, for example when removing advanced content, when a BPD with advanced content has an ampersand (&) character in its name.
