Create second Repository with the same name

If i create a repository, delete it and then try to create a new repo with the same name, i get an error, that there is already a repository with this name in my domain. is it possible to fix this error?

Is this still working? I deleted a repository in a way described above, but I cannot create a new with one the same name.

Thanks for the answers

Yep, it works.

I think your delete repository is still in the trash bin: uncheck "show active only" and delete the old repo completely.

Thank you for the quick answer. But as I explained, I did both steps:
- I moved it in trash
- I unchecked "Show active only" and pressed "Search". Here I saw my trash repository and destroyed it completelly.When I repeat this step now my repository is definitelly NOT there

So if I try to create a new repository with the name of the deleted one, I receive the following red message:

Please fix the following errors:
1. Sorry, the repository name XXXXXX is alrady taken on this domain

If you are a system administrator and have access on the repositories, please email me and I will give information which repository it is.

Thanks in advance

Can you please send a support request to support@gitentrprise.com indicating your username, domain name and the repo name.

We can then analyse the logs and see what's wrong.

It should work, unless there are still "duplicate" repos that are not visible to you for some reasons.

Luca.
