Problem

Orphaned deployments are stuck on the Vercel dashboard and cannot be removed after the associated projects and GitHub repositories have been deleted.

Details

  • Status: Two orphaned deployments are stuck on the Deployments page.
  • Context: Projects and GitHub repos have already been deleted.
  • Behavior: Deployments show as “Production” but return 404 errors.
  • Issue: There is no 3-dot menu available to delete these deployments.
  • Troubleshooting: Standard steps (cache clearing, different browsers) have not resolved the issue.

Please can someone help?

There’s another community post with 404 debugging tips that might be helpful. Please give these solutions a try and let us know how it goes.

A human should be around soon to offer more advice. But you can also get helpful information quickly by asking v0.

Hi, this looks like orphaned deployments left behind after the project and repository were deleted.

Since they still appear as “Production” but return 404 and have no available actions in the UI, it suggests the deployments are no longer linked to a valid project context. In other words, they seem to be dangling records without a parent project.

This might indicate that the deletion flow didn’t fully clean up associated deployments, leaving them in an inconsistent state.

It could be worth checking whether these deployments still reference a projectId or teamId that no longer exists, and if so, cleaning them up from the backend.

Hope this helps point in the right direction

thank you - that’s exactly right - waiting now on someone from @vercel to correct at the backend :slight_smile:
