My App is still active [https://tirtajayatravel.vercel.app](https://tirtajayatravel.vercel.app). I have deleted that project, and why is that still active?

## Expected Behavior
I Expect that [https://tirtajayatravel.vercel.app](https://tirtajayatravel.vercel.app) can not be accessed anymore or got Code: `DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND` instead of still can be accessed.

## Current Behavior
I created new project with the same name, but instead i got the same domain name, i got postfix `-lake` → [https://tirtajayatravel-lake.vercel.app](https://tirtajayatravel-lake.vercel.app)

- [https://tirtajayatravel.vercel.app](https://tirtajayatravel.vercel.app) → OLD Project, deleted but still active  
- [https://tirtajayatravel-lake.vercel.app](https://tirtajayatravel-lake.vercel.app) → New Project

The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for [bonus points](https://community.vercel.com/t/introducing-the-vercel-leaderboard/1358).

You can also use [v0](https://v0.dev/) to narrow down the possibilities.
