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

Hi @Maja Olesen

Welcome to the community.

If you could provide the repository name by masking the name (e.g. repo_name > r***_***e), I can check it for you.

Regards,
Mark C
