Deleted labels showing pending deletion status

Hi All,

We encountered an issue after deleting a sensitivity label through the Microsoft Purview portal. When we tried to recreate the same label a few hours later, a message indicated that a label with the same name still exists. We also attempted to remove it using PowerShell with the label GUID but received the error: “We cannot remove rule ‘label name’ since it is already in a pending deletion state.”

Anyone comes across similar

Thank you
