# v0 chat error: Repository deleted or renamed and duplication failure

## Problem
I need help with my `v0` chat. It displays the following message at the input text area:

> **"The repository [github repo path] was deleted or renamed. Start a new chat to continue working."**

## Current Behavior
- My `GitHub` repository is still active and has not been changed.
- `v0` asks me to duplicate the project.
- When I try to duplicate, I get an error:

> **"An unexpected error occurred."**

Please, I need a fix asap if someone knows what to do.

Did you know there's another category dedicated to #v0 topics? A human should be here soon to help, but the answer may already be available even faster in one of these other posts.

Our docs are a great place to start.

We also have a walkthrough to help guide your workflow.

Are you still seeing this? If so, can you share a chat link?

Hey! To help debug your v0 project, could you share your **v0 chat link**?
It looks like `https://v0.app/chat/...` — you can copy it from your browser's address bar while in the chat.

You'll also need to unlist the chat so our team can view it — here's how: https://v0.app/docs/sharing

This helps the team reproduce what you're seeing much faster. Thanks!

Does this workflow help you understand the git workflow better?
