Trying to import project to repository but being complain project already exist

When import a project from VP Desktop client to repository (VP Online or on-premises Teamwork Server) it complains the project already exist, even the same named project already being deleted in repository…

Same named project already deleted in repository but still cannot re-create it

Actually the project is successfully imported to repository and the complaint is not in the repository side, but from your local workspace. In this situation probably your local workspace you got a same named local copy exist. This blocking the checkout of the project from repository. To solve this problem:

1. Go to Team > Utilities > Open Teamwork Client.
   

   Open Teamwork Client

2. Press Manage Project button.
   

   Manage Project

3. You should see a same named project showing on the right hand side list. Select it and press the left arrow button to remove it.
   

   Remove project form managed list

4. Close the Manage Project dialog.
5. Close Teamwork Client dialog.
6. Go to Project > Open > VP Teamwork Server / VP Online.
7. Select the project and press Open button.
   

   Open project which just imported

Now the project is being checked out to your local workspace.
