Cant delete Project that has no Repositories

brian_goulter

I have a Project called "Untitled project". The Project page says

"A new home for your brilliant idea

Now that you've got a project, let's bring in some repos and get cracking."

There are NO repos.

I click on "Project settings" and then click on "Delete project" but the pop-up says

"You cannot delete this project because it still contains repositories. To delete the project you must first move or delete any repositories."

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

I think I have worked out what the problem is. I found a repository created using Mercurial. BitBucket no longer supports Mercurial repositories. So the repository cannot be deleted (and isn't even listed if you go into the Projects listing). As a consequence, the project itself cannot be deleted.

@brian_goulter - that's a weird one.

Try associating a repo to your project, then un-associate that repo. Then try deleting the project again?

Hi Dave

Thanks for the answer (and as you were writing your answer, I think I found the cause of the problem).

I had already tried your suggestion (made a repo, removed it so that again there were no repo's listed).

But this is the sort of "try this ..." suggestion that us newbies need.

Whoa, good sleuthing! I can escalate this to Atlassian Support to help delete your project - unless you already have an open support ticket with them?

Brian Goulter

Thanks Dave - that would be great (I will have to learn how to create a ticket!). I have no need for the old mercurial repository. It will have nothing of value in it. It would have been created when I first dabbled in using Bitbucket (I have been using Mercurial - via TortoiseHg for some time - obviously I am revisiting BitBucket to try and conquer my fear of the unknown.)

Dave LIAO

Obviously a reply like mine shouldn't be the answer long-term. ;-p

Dave LIAO

Escalated!

Brian Goulter

From my experience, I try a dozen different things. Finally, something works, but then I can't work out which of the things I did were necessary (and did they have to be done in a certain order...). It makes it hard to offer recommendations to others!
