Trying to delete an empty project

[jade-armstrong]

I've made sure the project in question is empty with no repositories but when I press the delete button and I get a popup asking to confirm deletion and I press delete there as well nothing happens.

Hi @jade-armstrong 

Please take a look at this post here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Cant-delete-Project-that-has-no-Repositories/qaq-p/1535991#:~:text=BitBucket%20no%20longer%20supports%20Mercurial,project%20itself%20cannot%20be%20deleted.

Is it possible that you were once had a mercurial repository? If yes, then this could be your problem.

Thanks so much! I hadn't realized there was a repository hiding in there.

Hi @jade-armstrong,

There is still a Mercurial repository in your workspace, as Alex mentioned, which is the reason why the project cannot be deleted.

I can delete this repo for you, so you can then delete the project, but I need your consent first. Please let me know if you would like me to proceed with the repo's deletion.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the help, I would really appreciate it if you could go ahead and delete the repository.

All the best,

Jade

Hi Jade,

Can you try deleting the project now? The Mercurial repo has been removed from your workspace.

Kind regards,
