# Vercel deployment still active and project name taken after deletion

Hello,

## Problem
I deleted a project some time ago, but the deployment is still accessible at `bioclinik-client.vercel.app`.

## Current Behavior
- The project no longer appears in my dashboard.
- I don’t have other teams or accounts where this project could exist.
- I cannot create a new project with the name `bioclinik-client` because the system says the name is already taken.
- The deployment appears to be orphaned since there’s no project associated with it anymore.

I have another project called `bioclinik-final` that I want to keep - this issue only affects the old `bioclinik-client` deployment.

Could someone from the Vercel team please help me remove this orphan deployment completely and free up the `bioclinik-client.vercel.app` domain?

Thank you in advance for your help!

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.

It looks like that site was deployed as a new project by another account, possibly a team member? I can't share the repository here but you have public commits in it and it's deployed to a Vercel account owned by the owner of the github repository.
