      Issue Summary

      Deleting Confluence space leaves behind data and therefore the space is not completely removed.

      Symptoms

      • Space isn't completely deleted (can still navigate to the space)
      • Can't import space with the same key

      Environment

      • Confluence Cloud

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Take backup of existing Confluence space
      2. Delete the Confluence space after generating a backup of it
      3. Import Confluence space

      Expected Results

      Confluence space import completes successfully

      Actual Results

      UI shows the following message:

      A space with key ___ already exists.

      Errors:
