Getting the error "Can't rename a table because it is published for replication" while it's not I'm trying to rename a table, but I'm getting the error :
"cannot rename the table because it is published for replication".
But this table is not among the published articles.
I'm suspecting it's flagged somewhere as published, because it's possible that someone added it before to publication, and dropped it but it was not unflagged in SQL Server. But I don't know how to confirm / disconfirm this.

How can I solve this problem ?
sp_droparticle will probably do the trick. Details: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173832(v=sql.105).aspx
