Bitbucket claims there is a repo with a certain name, but it's not visible

Yesterday I tried to import a 3rd party repo 'X' to Bitbucket, but it never completed. This morning it still wasn't done, so I tried again to import it, but then Bitbucket complained that the repo name 'X' already existed. But it still wasn't visible in the list of repos.
So I imported it but with a different name 'X_1' which succeeded. Now I tried to rename  'X_1'  to 'X' but again Bitbucket complains that  'X' exists even thou it's not visible in the list of repos.
I know that Bitbucket had some system problems yesterday, so it's most likely that this a result of those problems.
Can someone at Bitbucket remove the incomplete import of repo 'X' (which has a different name which I can give to Bitbucket support personell) ?

Hi @MatsW

Welcome to the community.

Indeed, I can see that the repository was stuck in importing state.

Hence, I went ahead and deleted the empty repository on our end.

You can now try to rename your existing repo.
