hello, the answer here doesn’t seem quite right to me. yes all names need to be unique but my problem (and it sounds like OP’s problem) is that we’ve created an app, but either aborted the launch process or deleted it, and are still receiving the “name already taken” error. how do we flush cache/delete remnants/convince Fly that this app doesn’t actually exist so we can go ahead re-creating it?
edit: i may have figured it out. in my dashboard, the app wasn’t showing up (which was what was confusing to me - there’s no app here, why am i getting a “name already taken” error?!), but then in the command line using fly info shows there was an app, so i used fly destroy to delete it and that allowed me to re-create it.
