My Space building is never finish. Restart this Space and Factory rebuild is not working. I know deleting and new space is final choice. I’d like to keep user’s like. Any suggestions?

If you get a build error in red text, you may be able to fix it by modifying the code, but so far we have not found a way to recover from this state or from getting stuck in the loop of “Preparing Spaces…”.
So I think we have no choice but to use the final measure. If you rename the current Space A to B and leave it, and then create a new A, you should be able to restore B (the current A) if a recovery method is found. You should make B private.
It seems that we can raise issues about the Hub at the following.

Thanks for the thorough explanation and the workaround! I’ve raised an issue on the Hub regarding this. Hopefully, we’ll see a fix soon. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks! I upvoted.

> Spaces can become stuck in the "Preparing" state indefinitely, pre…venting the Space from becoming operational. The system incorrectly continues to display a "Running" status on the homepage and in other areas, even though the Space is not actually running.

> Impact:
>
> This inaccurate status is highly misleading, particularly when managing many Spaces. The "Running" status suggests that the Space is healthy and available, leading to unnoticed service disruptions. In my case, this issue was undetected for several months because the homepage indicated a healthy "Running" status, masking the fact that the Space was perpetually stuck in the "Preparing" phase.
