I have restored a database in another server. I don't want any of the transactional subscriptions of the former database. I already called
exec sp_removedbreplication 'MyRestoredDB'
go
And also
exec sp_cleanupdbreplication
go
And
exec sp_replicationdboption 'MyRestoredDB','Publish','False',1
go
But when I try
truncate table dbo.sample
I get the following error:
Msg 4711, Level 16, State 1, Line 7 Cannot truncate table 'sample'
because it is published for replication or enabled for Change Data
Capture.
I verified that the database isn't enabled for CDC. What else I can do to perform the truncate? Delete isn't an option for reasons not relevant to the question.

Take a look at this article: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2710/steps-to-clean-up-orphaned-replication-settings-in-sql-server/
Try dropping the old subscriptions, all publications and then removing replication from the DB, i.e.
then
