How to delete old Mercurial repos?

[fabriziogiudici]

Hello.

I'm converting the few Mercurial repos I'm still managing. The problem is that it seems I can't delete the old ones - which I need to do to recreate them as Git repos. For instance, if I go to https://bitbucket.org/fabriziogiudici/timelesswanderings.net I see

Repository unavailable

and there's no action available.

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

Hello,

Our support team can assist you with this.

You can open a support ticket with Bitbucket Cloud team via the following link:

• https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

In the field "What can we help you with?", select "Technical issues and bugs". Then make sure to select Bitbucket Cloud as product and also fill in the URL of the workspace that owned the Mercurial repos.

Kind regards,
Theodora
