After a failed space import, it's not possible to re-import because of leftover space data

Problem

After a space import times out fails, or the space information becomes corrupted in the database, the space and content cannot be accessed or removed from the Space Admin page.

See: CONF-31528 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Resolution 1

The easiest way to delete a space which its import has failed is to do it through the UI. We can remove it, even if it fails and doesn't show in the space directory, by using this url:

  • <confluence base url>/spaces/removespace.action?key=<space key>
    • Make sure to change the tags with the correct information.
    • With this url, the removespace page for the respective space will be shown, by clicking OK, you will initiate the space removal.

This is only possible because, during the import, it starts from the "space" object creation. So, if you have a "space" object, you will be able to delete the space and everything related to it. As usual, make sure to create a database backup before doing so.

Resolution 2

The imported Space and related content can be removed manually from the Confluence database.

(info) Before you proceed with the database updates, please note that:

  • The queries provided below are for informational purposes, as this is an unsupported process;
  • Make sure to check Unable to Delete Space first;
  • After following these resolution steps, attachments for this space will be orphaned in the attachment directory.  Attachment files related to the space can be removed manually from the file server disk by deleting the space sub-folder (as noted by the space ID in question) as well as all of its sub-folders.  This ONLY applies for attachments stored under the old ver003 folder structure which means only on Confluence versions prior to v8.1.0 as from v8.1.0 onwards Confluence uses version 4 storage layout format. 
    • (warning) Prior to deleting the space ID folder and its subfolders, create a backup of these and store in a separate location.   
    • (info)  Also, for more information on how Confluence stores attachments on the file system under ver003, please see ver003 Hierarchical File System Attachment Storage
  • While these queries were tested against MySQL 5.7, Postgres 9.5 and Microsoft SQL Server (2016), please bear in mind that these scripts may need minor adjustments before they work on other platforms.

  • As of Confluence 7.x, the EXTRNLNKS and TRACKBACKLINKS tables should no longer be present in the database as these have been deprecated. As such, any commands for these two tables can be skipped.


Always backup your data before performing any modifications to the database.

Delete Space database queries

Preparation:

  1. Determine the space key and space ID of the space to be removed.  This can be found by executing the following query:  

    SELECT SPACEID, SPACEKEY, SPACENAME FROM SPACES WHERE SPACENAME = '<enter-the-space-name>';
  2. Stop Confluence before running these queries.
  3. Next, create a backup of the Confluence database.

A listing of all the deleted content is located in the content_delete table that has been created. You can drop these table when you're done with them by executing:

DROP TABLE content_delete;
DROP TABLE pagetemp_delete;

Finally, you'll need to rebuild your index from scratch and rebuild the ancestor table.

(info) Please note: Deleting records from the main CONTENT table sometimes results in an integrity constraint violation error. Since it's very difficult to pinpoint the exact record(s) causing the violation, one workaround would be to temporarily disable the constraint check referenced in the error message. Here are examples for how to do this:

MySQL

-- Disable single constraint at the session level
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;

-- rerun the deletion command for the main CONTENT table in the script above...

DELETE FROM CONTENT WHERE CONTENTID IN (SELECT CONTENTID FROM DELETE_CONTENT);

-- Enable single constraint

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;
Microsoft SQL Server

-- Disable single constraint

ALTER TABLE content NOCHECK CONSTRAINT constraint_name;

-- rerun the deletion command for the main CONTENT table in the script above...

DELETE FROM CONTENT WHERE CONTENTID IN (SELECT CONTENTID FROM DELETE_CONTENT);

-- Enable single constraint
ALTER TABLE content CHECK CONSTRAINT constraint_name;

Postgres

-- Disable single constraint at the session level

ALTER TABLE content DISABLE TRIGGER constraint_name;

-- rerun the deletion command for the main CONTENT table in the script above...

DELETE FROM CONTENT WHERE CONTENTID IN (SELECT CONTENTID FROM DELETE_CONTENT);

-- Enable single constraint

ALTER TABLE content ENABLE TRIGGER constraint_name;

Oracle

-- Disable single constraint at the session level

ALTER TABLE content DISABLE CONSTRAINT constraint_name;

-- rerun the deletion command for the main CONTENT table in the script above...

DELETE FROM CONTENT WHERE CONTENTID IN (SELECT CONTENTID FROM DELETE_CONTENT);

-- Enable single constraint

ALTER TABLE content ENABLE CONSTRAINT constraint_name;
