Unable to update key or create project with specific name

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

SonarQube Enterprise 9.9.8

MS SQL Server 2022

The system is complaining that a previously deleted project still exists and I’m able to query the db and retreive its record

select * FROM [SonarQube].[dbo].[components] where kee like "PROJECT NAME”

I need to reuse the key associated with it, how can I force delete? I’ve tried Elasticsearch reindex but did not solve the problem, what about cleaner settings? How do I use “delete snapshot” to delete “previously deleted” projects + components without affecting anything else?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Your version is past EOL. You should update to either the latest version or the current LTA (long-term active version) at your earliest convenience. Your update path is:

9.9.8 → 2025.1.3 → 2025.4 (last step optional)

You may find these resources helpful:

If you have questions about updating, feel free to open a new thread for that here.

If your error persists after update, please come back to us.

HI @ganncamp ,

I didn’t ask whether my instance is outdated, I’m already very well aware.

What can I do about the problem at hand without updating?

Hi,

We can’t help you with a version that old.
