Unable to delete Git repositories due to 'Repository currently not available'

[Config Sync CI Bot]

I got the 'Repository currently not available' failure when trying to delete a repository using cURL:

$ curl -sX DELETE --user user:password https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/workspace-id/repo

Repository currently not available.

The UI page for the repository is not responding: https://bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repo/src. It spins forever.

When I refreshed the page, Bitbucket seemed to try to create a repository.

It feels like the repository was partially deleted.

Is there a way to show the actual status of this repository, or force-delete this repository?

Hi @Config Sync CI Bot and welcome to the community!

It looks like the repo deletion task failed and this repo is now stuck in CREATING mode with 0 bytes of data.

You won't be able to delete this repo, but I can delete it for you if you give me permission since you are an admin.

Please let me know if I have your permission to delete that repo.

Just a heads up, I removed the repo URL and screenshots (since they show the repo URL) from your post to protect your privacy.

Kind regards,
Theodora
