After deleting group, space is unaccessible

I had a space with permissions group A assigned to it. I wanted to rename the group - but couldn't see how to do so, so I created a brand new group (B) and added all the same members. I then added this new group B to the space permissions, and also removed all the users from group A.

Since I was no longer using group A, I removed it. Now, when I go to click on the space, I get "You are not authorized to see this..." When I go into Browse space > space admin > permissions, I get the below error.

Please Help! How can I get the permissions back?

------
ERROR (space admin > permissions)
