I'm trying to use the metadata api to do a destructive change call on all non-packaged components in my sandbox.

However, I keep receiving the following error: 

layouts/SocialPost-Social Post Layout.layout(SocialPost-Social Post Layout):Parent entity failed to deploy

Update

I found it: This layout is associated with enabling Social Contacts I went ahead and disabled social contacts temporarily, but it still came down with the page-layouts in the meta-data pull!

I have had almost the exact same issue with the same profile. What I would probably suggest is exclude profiles from the deletion, 95% of the time I have an issue with metadata it's because of profiles – Daniel Blackhall Oct 15 '12 at 10:16
Did anyone answer this? I am getting same issue when trying to deploy a profile from one dev org to another dev org. Both the orgs are on Winter 13 so not sure why this would be an issue? – CoryCowgill Oct 17 '12 at 22:23

Ultimately I ended up just removing the layout from the sets of layouts that I download. – jordan.baucke Oct 17 '12 at 22:31
