    Hi @rohan ohol
    Thanks for your patience while we worked on this.

    We identified that the workspace deletion was getting stuck due to a backend issue where the delete operation was not completing successfully. Our internal team reset the workspace state from “Deleting” to “Failed”, which allowed the deletion process to be retried.

    After that, the workspace was successfully deleted.

    If anyone else runs into a similar issue where the workspace stays in Deleting for a long time and force delete does not work, the recommended approach is:

    • Wait for backend validation
    • Reset the state (via support)
    • Retry deletion

    Thanks again for your cooperation!

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
