When I try to remove a layer through the management interface, I am getting a server error and the layer is not removed. After an upgrade, these layers are causing other problems, so how can I remove them without going through the management interface?

You could try the REST interface. I hesitate to suggest editing the XML, (and then reload config from management interface) but that would be another possibility if REST fails too.

Phil - Thanks for your response. If I was to edit the XML, which files would I edit? I can’t find the layer names that I want to delete anywhere besides in workspaces//

I have never done this. I also believe it depends on which version of geoserver you use.
I would try doing it by REST first.
However, what I believe would be enough, would be delete any entry
in data_dir/workspaces/<workspace>/namespace.xml and to delete the directory with the layer name as well. (2.5.1 layout). Definitely want to backup the data_dir first!
And try REST first
