Can't remove site

Hi  I have a site collection I can't get rid of - I see it in the deleted site Recycle bin - but can't delete it from the new SP admin center nor with Powershell (remove-spodeletedsite)  ...

Do you have any Add-in or SPFx WebPart installed in your sites? If so, that's probably the reason you are nont being able to remove the App Catalog...Might I ask why you want to delete it?

    Hi jcgonzalezmartin 

    wrong URL - among other issues :) 

     

    only have the root site - and no spfx 

     

    - it's funny - I can see it's in the Site recycle bin - but can't delete it ... I can't restore it either 

     

    PowerShell tells me it's not in the Recycle bin - but when browsing to it - it's not available ?? 

    Can't create a new App Catalog either nor point it to the URL ...

     

    remove-spodeletedssite gives me "unable to find the deleted site: ........"

     

    ....so a bit stuck  - can of cause wait 30 days - then it should remove it self - but that doesn't change that the site are at the get-SPOsite list...

      Taen kerenHave you gotten far with this? I have a similar issue. For me, I can access the site even if it's in the recycle bin, but it's not in the site collection list. If I went to the recycle bin to permanently delete it, there are no buttons to do it and it would only give me Restore.
