Exchange 2010 DAG in failed state

The exchange 2010 DAG replication is in failed state. Its because of transactions logs being manually deleted.
I tried to suspend and resume the replication but didn’t work. Any ideas how I can fix this.

@jhonnyla

you can fix it by dismounting the store.  then delete all the logs and .chk file (or copy them to another location, just in case)

>> when we are trying to fix an issue with deleted log-files, why would you recommend deleting all other logfiles and do hard-repair on the database. The asker hasnt reported any issue with the database, it's just that log files are missing.
I did this in our test environment since we didn't backup that one, deleting the logs and chk files was the only way. (didn't need them anyway) Some stores were down because they were out of disk space.

Off course you're option is by far the safest and preferred.  forget every word I said.

Thanks Guys
I don't want to restore logs from the database as we don't have proper backup till last week.How can create fresh data base copy.I don't mind deleting logs and database from the passive server and then reseeding from the active server.
If you can't loose anything important, you can try fixing it my way.  it worked in my situation.  But I still would like to hear Sunnyc7's opinion.

@sunnyc7 what would you suggest?  I've seen the incredible number of points you've earned and compared to you i'm just a rookie.  I joined this forum to learn and in the end to become an expert :-)
If I  just remove the server from the DAG.Delete database and logs and then add the replica again.Is it safe to do that.
