Unable to Delete a project space in Confluence!

[linh nguyen]

Hi,

I am having problem deleting a project in Confluence site. Confluence reports that the space has been deleted successfully. However, when I return to the space directory, the deleted space is still there. No errors are reported by the UI.

I have administrator permissions and we are using Confluence 6.4.2. 

Please advise of the issues if you have these types of problems before.

Appreciate for sharing and Thanks,

P.s.

Please find the errors occurred below when I tried to delete from the administration console.

Oops - an error has occurred

System Error

Hello,

Have you tried rebuilding the index of your confluence instance and see if the space still appears there afterwards? You might have to rebuild it from scratch:
