SharePoint 2010 Error: No language-neutral solution exists in the store

While uninstalling wsp solution using Remove-SPSolution command, I suddenly started getting this error

Uninstalling solution: MySolution.wsp.

Solution uninstalled.
Removing solution: MySolution.wsp
Error occurred, during SharePoint deployment.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

After investigating further, I found out that a solution with the name already exists in the solution store, so after searching on internet I found out that a temporary work around is to remove solution entry from SharePoint_Config database and then add it back again using the same powershell script.

It was resolved after I added myself in farm administrators group and then gave dbo permissions on the content database for the site collection and then shrinked database files using below post
