Hi Vercel Community,

I'm facing an issue reassigning my custom domain to a newly created project after deleting the original project.

The problem

I previously connected my custom domain and its www subdomain to a Vercel project. I subsequently deleted that project.

Now, when I try to add the same domain to my new project, Vercel returns:

"Cannot add domain since it's already in use by one of your projects."

I also tried using Vercel CLI:

1. vercel alias rm → Project not found.
2. vercel inspect on the old deployment → Can't find the deployment.

Vercel Support confirmation

Vercel Support investigated my account and confirmed that the domain associations remain linked in the backend to the deleted project.

They also confirmed that self-service transfers cannot release these associations because the original project no longer exists.

What I need help with

Could a Vercel team member help clear the orphaned domain associations so I can connect my domain to my new project?

Please preserve my existing nameservers, DNS records, and email authentication records.

Thank you!
