how do I drop a rdb$primary67 index ?

I get

Unsuccessful metadata update
ERASE RDB$INDICES failed
action cancelled by trigger (1) to preserve data integrity
Cannot delete index used by an Integrity Constraint
Statement: drop index rdb$primary67

I have dropped all secondary indexes, triggers
and shutdown the database

what else must I do ?
