Cannot Delete Migrated AAS to PBI Workspace

Hello community!

I have an issue in which I have an empty workspace in the Service which will not delete when I ask it to. Fortunately, I was able to track down the owner, and got him to delete the AAS Migration which caused the creation of the workspace. However, I am still not able to delete the workspace and now am getting an "UnknownError" instead of the specific error I was getting before, "AASMigration_ActiveMigrationExists".

Microsoft, what is causing this?

Update: apparently this may have been caused by an issue with my browser cache, or something, remembering that the workspace existed even thought it was actually deleted. When the user (a contractor with admin rights (don't hate the playa, hate the game)) called me to inform me that he had deleted the AAS Migration and the workspace was ready to be deleted, the above was the error I got despite the fact that I had to navigate to the workspace to attempt to delete it.

However, this morning we touched base and he said that he had deleted the workspace in question at the time we had had the meeting yesterday, which is not how I remember it, but would certainly seem to explain the error I got, and that I am no longer seeing that workspace today.

So maybe now the question is, am I crazy, or am I remembering what was said correctly and something else has since changed? Whose truth is true? How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?

Hi @BillyT_350 

 

Can you confirm that all the items in the workspace have been deleted. Then once that is done try and remove the workspace?

Sorry, I had forgotten to mention in the OP that we had cleared out the workspaced some time ago, but that what was preventing us from deleting it was the ghost AAS Migration. I have updated the OP for future reference.
