Unable to delete projects & unable to import project from Github
As an administrator, I want to be able to delete a project immediately. I am on Gitlab CE 16.6.0. We have a mechanism of backing up gitlab repo. basically what I want to achieve is the abily to import those repositories. I came to my attention that, when you import a repository, the name should not exist in the disk. The only way to over come this is the delete the project and recreates it. This poses an issue. I noticed a delete project never actually being deleted, it leave with this. No matter how I try. this never changes. Either using API or GUI. The blow screen is what I am getting for any project deleted.
Is there a way I can permanently and immediately delete a project so that it allows me to proceed with the backup (github import)?
I am using this guide to automate things https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/import.html#import-repository-from-github.
Additionally, I have a Group, Group A that I initiated Delete group. It has been over a month, the group is still there. WHY?
