Deleted domain - still visible and not able to add it again

I tried to delete a domain name from Digital Ocean because for some reason it did not redirect to the specified IP.

  1. I “deleted” it, but it still shows under the project it was deleted from.

If I try to click the domain I get this error:
Looks like something went wrong…
If this keeps happening, check out status.digitalocean.com.

  1. If I try to move resources into “myproject” it will list the domain which I deleted.

  2. If I try to “add domain” under networking I will get this error:
    Data domain ‘mydomain.com’: name already exists.

Sooo what do I do here?
I deleted the domain.
The domain is not listed under networks.
I am not able to add the domain.
The domain is still visible under one of the projects.

Someone experienced this before :)?

Apparently there is a problem with deleting domains currently.

I logged out, and it was visible again under networking, I tried to delete it once again however it failed and is just stuck at the loading animation… and is now back at the same situation as stated above.

Greetings!

I’m sorry about the trouble this is giving you. I just deleted a domain from my account to confirm that the function is working. Can you try disabling browser extensions, or even testing in a different web browser, to see if the problem persists?

    Hey Jarland

    I see, i were able to delete other domains, for some reason i think this is happening because i changed the DNS server of the domain away from digital ocean.

      Hi there, I just did the same thing (changed name server and then deleted the domain under Digital Ocean Networking). Would you mind telling me what happened in your case? It’s difficult to troubleshoot DNS issues because of the delays when switching nameservers etc. I’m trying to figure out if I broke it or if it will resolve itself a few days.
      Thanks
