Good afternoon. The problem is that I cannot merge datasets or delete large datasets in the system. These are the three datasets I want to delete: **merge\_data\_71-l7ett, drone-xpug6, the\_imn\_portaone-16\_-eilik**. These are the datasets I want to merge: **samling\_11** and **merge\_data\_72-f1fyk**. I have had this problem for about four months now, and I apologize for bothering you so much about this issue. However, I cannot make progress on my project because of it. If changing my plan to the **Growth plan** can help resolve this,_)_ - **Project Type: Object detection** - **Operating System & Browser: windows** - **Project Universe Link or Workspace/Project ID;** datasamling/projects - **Do you grant Roboflow Support permission to access your Workspace for troubleshooting? (Yes/No): Y** ---

I had a dataset I was really stuck on trying to delete - just kept getting an error screen. I finally went into the project lists and used the 3-dot menu button on that project to “Copy Project ID”. Then I selected to delete the project and pasted that copied ID and for some reason that worked when typing it out did not. Just something to try while you wait for more info! ---

Can you try your deletes again? I fixed some things in our delete process. I expect you’ll still see an error, but the delete will complete after a few minutes. ---

Thank you. I tried, and I successfully deleted one of the three datasets, but the other two are still refusing to delete. ---

I was able to rerun your deletes successfully after some fixes on my side. ✅ I’ll check the merging now. ---

I successfully deleted it. Thank you for your help, and I hope the merging issue can be resolved as well. ### ---

Hi I have successfully merged the dataset I was stuck on (mb-b8jr4). However, I am seeing some message that images were not read, and the merge was about five hours ago. Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it. ![Screenshot 2026-02-05 194243](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/roboflow1/original/2X/1/1667491fde3712cd4a0204c771a587d733f0389b.png) ---
