My repository is stuck in the 'Forking' state and I cannot access settings to delete it.

Hi @Maja Olesen ,

if you are a project admin, try to reach the admin UI through 

https://xxxxxxxxx/<workspace>/<repo>/admin 
Moreover, as a project admin, you can try to delete repo using rest API (take a look here https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-data-center/kb/archive-unarchive-or-delete-repositories-with-rest-api-in-bitbucket-data/).
The last chance is to raise a ticket to Atlassian Support https://support.atlassian.com/ 
Hope this helps,
Fabio
