sharepoint-2010

I am getting the following error when attempting to activate the Sharepoint Server Publishing Infrastructure. There are only about 140 columns defined in the entire site collection.

I had previously activated and subsequently deactivated this feature. I don't know whether this might be causing the problem. But I really have no idea.

I am a developer and this is my first question on serverFault. Please be gentle.

Error Message:

Column Limit Exceeded.

There are too many columns of the specified data type. Please delete some other columns first. Note that some column types like numbers and currency use the same data type.

Troubleshoot issues with Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
