lakeFS is an open-source data version control that transforms your object storage to Git-like repositories..

lakeFS

I'm writing some (fixture) tests and running I'm running in quickstart mode for other reasons, I'm using a local dir in my home, but I keep getting
> 'message': 'failed to create repository: found lakeFS objects in the storage namespace(<local://home/barbie15/test-repo>) key(_lakefs/dummy): storage namespace already in use'
although `test-repo` is absolutely empty, so I guess there is a database for that key somewhere else in lakeFS, or?
Ps: same for production LakeFS and MinIO

I can see `_lakefs/dummy` from the minIO console..
is there a way to clean the bucket up from the lakeFS API?

this did it
`rclone delete <minio://test-repo>`

<@U06872AUBK4> Indeed. lakeFS will not create a new repo in a storage namespace that’s already in use in order to avoid collisions. Currently there’s no way to cleanup the storage with lakeFS commands.
