How to delete an old Mercurial repository

[ggap]

Bitbucket no longer supports Mercurial project. We cannot access either the repository or project settings to remove project or repository using the bitbucket dashboard

Is there a way to delete an old mercurial repository ? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Atlassian made a decision to move away from maintaining and supporting Mercurial repositories in 2019.

This was announced in community:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-articles/What-to-do-with-your-Mercurial-repos-when-Bitbucket-sunsets/ba-p/1155380

and on our blog:

• https://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket

Bitbucket Cloud Support team is no longer able to restore those repositories.

If you are looking for a Mercurial repository that was public, all the public repos were archived by Software Heritage:

• https://bitbucket-archive.softwareheritage.org/

We will not be able to meet any further requests for recovery of private HG repositories and users will need to recover those from local copies only.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi @ggap, thanks for reaching out! 

At the moment it's not possible for end-users to remove Mercurial repositories. If you'd like any of your Mercurial repositories deleted, please submit a ticket through our Support portal and we'll help you with the removal. 

Best regards,

Ana
