Request to delete deleted/archived packages

Asked by neodix

I was testing the packaging and now need to remove the byproducts.
Could you please cleanup https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ton-foundation/ppa/ubuntu/?
In particularly, these packages https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ton-foundation/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/t/ton/

No need - they'll be automatically garbage-collected in a few hours, since they're no longer listed as published on https://launchpad.net/~ton-foundation/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages. (In fact, we don't have any *ability* to delete things beyond that garbage-collection job.)

However, 10 hours later, upon upload still got an email with "Rejected: File ton_2023.05.orig.tar.gz already exists in ton... "

In my profile it is shown:

Number of packages:
0 source packages (127.3 MiB)
0 binary packages (44.2 MiB)
Repository size:
171.6 MiB (2.09%) of 8.0 GiB

Somehow does not look correct when 0 packages occupy some storage.
Interestingly I see one package left, but the name is not 2023.05, but 2023.04 - which should not be the problem. (https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ton-foundation/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/t/ton/)

You can never upload a file with the same name but different contents to a PPA. It doesn't matter if it's been deleted.
