How to use an invocation used in a previously deleted project? - actions-on-google

I did some tests with Actions on Google but it was with the wrong account so I deleted the project. Once I created the new one with the good account, I discovered that the invocation isn't deleted so I can't use it anymore.
Did I miss something to get it completely deleted?
I've received the mail about the 24h hour to recover the project but it's been more than 24h now.

This happened to me. Support told me that there was a way to "undo" the project deletion and once un-deleted I could change the name so that the old one could be re-used. I forget the details but that option wasn't available for me. They told me I could wait a month or so until the project was physically deleted from their cloud or I could submit a ticket to delete it and wait a week. That's what I did.

Your display name's pronunciation is already reserved by another Action - but I deleted it days ago

I started to develop an action a while ago. Learnt a few things, decided to delete and start again. Now I am getting:
"Could not reserve your pronunciation '(name)' because: Your display
name's pronunciation is already reserved by another Action. If you
need further guidance, please contact support"
I deleted the original action about a week ago, contacted support 4 days ago but no reply. I really need to use that name to match the Alexa skill version. Is there a "trash" area it is hiding out in, or some kind of "force destroy project" action I need to complete to recycle the name?
Also, is it the case that, unlike Alexa, no two actions can have the same invocation? So it is possible that in the few minutes between me deleting the other apps and generating the new one, that someone sneaked in and stole my name? And way of getting more diagnostic data? It does not appear in the assistant directory.
When you delete a Google Cloud Project, it will be fully deleted after thirty days. If you want to reclaim the name, you should be able to go to the original project and rename it to something else. If your name is trademarked, you should be able to request an exception.
Actions are all part of a global namespace, so two cannot have the same name. But if you don't see it in the directory, then it definitely didn't launch.

how to get back delete responsitory from source tree

I suddenly deleted the local repo that contains all of my code. Now all of my code is deleted. I do not know where the deleted files went or any method that can help me to restore all the code.
What I have done, is right click on the repo-name and then select delete
Don't you have any save on a back-up system? Maybe on an external drive or something like that?
Have you checked your trash bin? (If you're on Linux, check ~/.local/share/Trash/files)
Just a little advice: Configure an automatic back-up on an other drive at a fixed time (once a week). That way, even if you loose the latest modifications, you don't loose the whole code.

How to inactivate a JIRA status workflow?

I have created a workflow of changing status in JIRA but now I want some of the statuses to be deleted. It does not give me the option to delete. I read in the document that you cannot delete active workflow steps.
How can I inactivate a workflow is not described anywhere. I have spent hours on it.
I'm not sure I got you 100% right, but to delete a workflow you have to unassign it from the workflow scheme, which is only possible if that scheme is not used by any project. If a status is not used anymore in any workflow it can be deleted if I remember correctly.
How I do it in most cases is: I create a new workflow, as it is needed. Then I associate it to the project. Afterwards I can delete the old one.

How to remove a module from CPAN?

A couple of years ago, I uploaded a module to CPAN that probably isn't or hasn't been of use to anyone. The problem it solves is simple, it doesn't solve it well, and the code embarrasses me.
How can I remove it?
Log in to your PAUSE account and there is a menu item to delete your files. The files will be scheduled to be deleted 3 days hence (giving you a change to change your mind), and maybe another day after that for the change to be propagated to all the CPAN mirrors.
By design, this will not delete your files from the BackPAN.
2021 update Sometime around 2015, PAUSE changed the way they manage meta-data by not tracking the meta-data not derived from the release itself. These options have disappeared from the PAUSE interface years ago (although I wasn't able to pin it down from looking at the commit messages).
It's not like most of that ever really did anything. Marking something "can be deleted" didn't mean it would be deleted.
Besides deleting all the files, which you can still do, if you need extra help, you can write to the admins.
You can delete files from CPAN by marking them for deletion in PAUSE. This only removes them from the master repository that PAUSE maintains. It does not send out signals to the universe to delete all copies ever created.
If you've registered it in the module list, you can set its lifecycle to "Can be deleted from database" by editing the module metadata. This does not immediately remove it, but it can be removed the next time PAUSE does a database cleanup.
This doesn't make the code disappear from the world. It will not be on the main CPAN server, but it can still show up on mirror sites and in BackPAN.
But, don't despair about bad code. Everyone has embarrassing code somewhere in CPAN. Even if the code is incomplete or buggy, it might be a good starting point for other people with a related problem.
I'd suggest you leave it on CPAN but change the primary maintainer to ADOPTME, the PAUSE ID we use for modules who have lost their maintainers. If you have it registered in the module list, you can also mark it as "abandoned" under Support Level by editing the module metadata.

Visual source safe check in for terminated employee

I have a coworker who was no longer work the same office. He has checked out files in VSS. How do I check in the item which checked out by him? Thanks.
Assuming that you can't just log on as him and check in the files.
One easy way would be to undo the checkout (you might have to use the admin tool for this) and then you checkout the files, copy over his changed files and check them in.
Actually, here's the MS support article about doing just this to solve your problem: How To Resolve Files Checked Out by an Unavailable User (for version 4, 5 and 6, but I'm fairly sure it'll be exactly the same if you've got a later version, there wasn't any real GUI changes as far as I remember).
Another thing you can do if the person has left or moved on is to delete their account with the admin tool and recreate it.
Then undo their checkouts (or check in, if you have access to their files) and delete their account again.
You can use "admin" to log in and undo the checkout.
