Unable to remove orphaned deployments after deleting all Vercel projects

Help
1

Hello Vercel Team,

I am experiencing an issue with my Vercel account. I deleted all of my Vercel projects because I wanted to start with a completely fresh environment. However, I still see many old deployments listed in my Deployments page.

I have already tried the following commands:

  • vercel projects ls – Returns "No projects found".
  • vercel list – Still displays old deployments.
  • vercel remove <deployment-url> – Returns "Could not find any deployments or projects matching...".
  • vercel inspect <deployment-url> – Returns "Can't find the deployment under the current context.".

It appears that these deployments have become orphaned after the projects were deleted. Could you please help remove these orphaned deployment records from my account so I can start with a completely clean Vercel environment?

Thank you for your support.

Current Behavior

  • I deleted all of my Vercel projects from the Vercel Dashboard.
  • vercel projects ls returns "No projects found".
  • However, vercel list still displays multiple old deployments.
  • vercel remove cannot find the deployments.
  • vercel inspect also reports that the deployments cannot be found under my account.
  • The deployments remain visible in my Vercel Dashboard even though the projects have been deleted.

Expected Behavior

  • After deleting all Vercel projects, all associated deployments should also be removed automatically.
  • If deployments remain, they should be removable using either the Vercel Dashboard or the Vercel CLI.
  • I would like my Vercel account to be completely cleaned so I can start with a fresh deployment environment.

Deployments can take a little time to fully clear after a project is deleted. The deployment URLs you shared currently take me to the generic Vercel project 404 page as expected.

Please let me know if you still have any trouble with this :folded_hands:
