Archived space still visible in the dashboards

Question

Hi

I did archive a space. In the Atlassian documentation it is written, that archived spaces should not appear anymore in dashboards. In my case, the space ist still visible.

I flushed all the caches and did a contetnt reindex. Still same behaviour.

How to remove the archived space from the dashboard?

Hi Remo,

What version of Confluence are you on? According to this ticket, the archive functionality was added to Confluence in 4.3 which also hides activity from the dashboards on archived spaces. It doesn't sound like you have a Confluence that old, but it's worth knowing for troubleshooting purposes.

What happens when you try searching for content in that space? If Confluence sees the space as archived, a search should not render any content from it unless you check the "Search archived spaces" checkbox in the left sidebar on the search page.
