An ounce of prevention:

For large leagues and leagues that have had edits to its structure or are multiple seasons old, one should from time to time click the Game tab and select "database info and tools options".
On that page click the Tools tab and select Purge deleted records from database.
Over time and with deletions/edits to your lg., this deleted/changed info builds up in your lgs. database. Purging will delete these useless records which can cause corruption and lead to runtime errors.

Anytime one imports a lg. from one version to another Purge the database as soon as your lg. is working correctly.

Anytime you get your first Runtime error and can continue your game. Run the purge tool as soon as possible.

Although I worked with Andreas when these runtime errors first started showing up and tested the Purge tool many times without any problems, YOU MUST make a copy of your lgs. folder before purging the database just in case a problem does arise. Do not use the games backup feature.

Of course Purging only works if you can successfully start your league's file.

Puging will also get rid of those Ghost teams and players that show up from time to time after you've deleted them in your game.
