Publishing error say file still exist.

I foo barred a feature host.. I deleted the feature host from my contents. I tried to publish the using the same folder and file name and it fails. Saying the name already exists.. I realize I can use I different name.. But I have had other issues similar to this.

I had a transparency setting at 60%. Changed it to 0%. Never changed. Two days later the setting took. SMH.

Any ideas?

Solved!! I recently enable the recycling bin.. Permanently deleted the file.

But the file didn't show in my layer search.. I guess thats on me?

Yeah, the Recycle Bin is a wee bit problematic. I disabled it as I found that, whilst using FME/Data Interoperability, I was getting publishing issues .

Thanks Chet. Be aware!! The error can happen when performing normal programmatic actions, in Python for instance. Basically a version of the below action - trying to publish a shapefile, wherein a feature class of the same name has already been published and deleted, will trigger the Exception you posted:

mygis = GIS(username = <username>, password = <password>)) items = mygis.content.search('<myusername> AND title: <redacted>_XSections_Intersect_Parcels', item_type = "Shapefile", max_items = 250) d = {"name":"<redacted>_XSections_Intersect_Parcels","maxRecordCount":5000} items[0].publish(publish_parameters=d)

In reality, this is a reference to the aforementioned, deleted feature class.

Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it.
