Repository stuck in "Creating repository" state — please delete it (uqam/shibboleth-proxy)

Hi,

A repository in our Bitbucket Cloud workspace is stuck in the "Creating repository" state and needs to be deleted.

Repository:  https://bitbucket.org/uqam/shibboleth-proxy

What we see:

• When navigating to the repository, the page shows: "Creating repository — Please wait a moment while we create your repository." with an infinite loading bar
• git clone hangs indefinitely with no response
• The repository appears in workspace search and the repository list, but is completely inaccessible
• This has been going on since July 30, 2026

Request: Please delete this repository so that we can recreate it properly if needed. We have confirmed there is no data to preserve.

Thank you!

Hi @ghoul_mohammed_ridha 

I've had a look and it appears the fork got stuck during the creation process, leaving the repository in an incomplete state. To clear this, the repository will need to be deleted so you can attempt the fork again.

Could you try deleting it via the API using the following command:

curl -X DELETE -u {email}:{api_token} \
  https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/<Workspace>/<Repo_name>

Replace {email} with your Atlassian account email and {api_token} with an API token generated from your Atlassian account settings at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens. 

Once deleted, please try the fork again and let me know if it completes successfully.

Regards,
Syahrul
