Why can't the space key of an already deleted space be used when creating a new space?

[유홍재]

I deleted the previously created space, created a new space, and tried to use the space key, but it doesn't work.
Can't I use the deleted space key?
Or is it possible to use it after a certain period of time has elapsed?

Hello @유홍재 

When did you delete this space?  Have you purged trash? Because the deleted space will be in trash for 60 days untill you purge it manually, until it's fully deleted the key cant be used. 

You need to have admin permission to do this 

1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools from the bottom of the sidebar
2. Choose Trash.

@Sushant Verma I believe that documentation is not updated, I already checked it

[Sushant Verma]

@Jimmy Trivedi Do you have admin rights? Please share the screenshot what you are getting?

@Sushant Verma I waited for more then 60 days, but still I'm not able to use the same key.

Hi @유홍재 

Might be that key is not deleted from the DB.
