Removing PPAs?

Asked by Joel Auterson

I have two PPAs on Photostory Team (~photostory), called 'ppa' and 'photostory'. Is there any way to delete these?

Thanks.

Use the Deletion link right there in the menu.

Sorry, should have clarified - they are deleted, but not fully. I can't create a new PPA with the same name.

Ah ok - you cannot do that, once they are deleted they remain in place in the
UI - just the repository area is removed.

The work to delete them is really on half finished, this part was implemented
so far so that people can rename their accounts (which you can't do when
there's a PPA attached because it would change the PPA's URL).

At some point I hope to finish the deletion work to completely remove history
in the UI.

Can you help with this problem?
