Projects are soft deletions so they are hidden from the UI because they take a while They are marked for deletion and then eventually happen like 15 minutes later It will work if you try it later Deleting a project just has many steps Could you mvoe the traceback to the thread when you get a chance

Chris Hatton · Answer

Thanks Ok I ll try a little later Can you clarify what you mean by Could you mvoe the traceback to the thread

Kevin Kho · Answer

The error if you could move it to this chat thread to keep the main channel more clean

Chris Hatton · Answer

Eventually happen seems to have taken at least 3 hours I guess I ll pause until tomorrow

Kevin Kho · Answer

Did that project have a lot of flows or flow runs It s dependent on how many deleted need to cascade

Chris Hatton · Answer

No One of them had no runs at all

Kevin Kho · Answer

Ok i ll leave a note for the team to check why this may be taking so long

Chris Hatton · Answer

I can recreate the issue with a simple ```prefect create project foo prefect delete project foo prefect create project foo```

Chris Hatton · Answer

Not trying to nag I just wanted to let you that this did not resolve over night I d be happy to report an issue or a bug if you have a system or link to do so

Kevin Kho · Answer

Kevin Kho · Answer

< Chris Hatton> our deletion service is currently off but if you DM me your tenant id and project we can delete it for you

Kevin Kho · Answer
