Reuse warehouse name after deletion

Hi, 

i deleted a warehouse "wh_test" yesterday because of problems with the model... Today i try to create the warehouse again with the same name and get the error message "The name is already in use". 

Does anyone have an idea how i can reuse the name? Otherwise i have to edit pipelines, dataflows...

Thanks!

Hi @cw88 
The error has occured because the original Warehouse deprovision/delete failed. This is the reason you are not able to create a new Warehouse with the same name.
The internal team has confirmed that there is an ongoing fix for this issue. This change will be deployed by early half of December 2023. 
Appreciate your patience.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Glad to help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks!
