Can't Import after failed deletion

Question

I did an export of a confluence space and then deleted the space so I can test an import before i take this to our production team. But since the deletion failed I cannot import because of the Space Key is apparently still lingering around.

Any Ideas of what I can do?

Thank you for your reply as I have the free version I don't see a way for me to make a ticket with support

Hi @David Sherer ,

Cloud users will need to contact Atlassian Support and request removing the Space from Confluence database.
