      Modify the quiz in some way to delete the corrupt preview. For example, adding and deleting a question will do this. Or even easier, Quiz administration -> Edit quiz settings, and Save without changing anything.

      The following steps result in a coding error while previewing a quiz:

      1. Create a new quiz with question behavior "Interactive with multiple tries"
      2. In the question bank, create a question category named "Test"
      3. Add a new Matching question to category "Test"
      4. In the quiz, add a Random question pulling from category "Test"
      5. Preview the quiz, but do not Finish the preview.
      6. In the question bank, delete the Matching question.
      7. Preview the quiz again.

      Expected:

      There will be no fatal error. Acceptable outcomes would be a notice of a missing question or a brand new preview.

      Actual:

      Moodle will respond with the coding error:

      Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: This behaviour (interactivecountback) cannot work with this question (qtype_missingtype_question)

      At this point the instructor is essentially locked-out from previewing the quiz and there is no obvious way to delete the corrupt preview.
