Can't permanently delete a project from trash

[Idan Klein]

Hi all :)

I deleted a project from jira and waited for its time in the trash to pass and be permanently deleted.

Since it expired and was supposed to be permanently deleted, I get an email every day stating "Could not permanently delete the project" with the message:

We couldn't delete this project.

It's probably a temporary problem. Go to trash and try again.

This does not seem like a temporary problem since it's happening for a month now. I tried to actively delete the project from trash, but still got the same response.

Any idea what can be the problem and how to fix it?

Thank you,

Idan

Hi Idan,

I would go ahead and open a support ticket with Atlassian:

Actually, you might try this first:

Log out, clear cache and go back in basically.

Thanks John!

I tried this solution but it didn't help - I still got the email that the project wasn't deleted.

I'll open a support ticket.
