Recover "taken" URLs?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all,
on my first steps into Power Pages I already screwed up. I tried to create a first website from a template, but failed at creating/selecting a proper test environment and started over again - twice. It seems, despite the website not being created, the URLs I chose along the way (xxxx.powerappsportals.com) are now reserved anyway but can not be used by me as they are "taken" or "not available". 😥 Is there any way to recover those "burnt" URLs?

Best, Thomas

 

[Edit] It seems the website(s) have been created after all, I can access them. Not sure how to connect to them in order to configure/manage them, however. This needs more research on my part, I guess...

    Do you see the portal on admin.powerplatform.com?

    Hi @SQLThomas 

    The simple way to solve your problem is as follows 

     

     

    In portal management:

     

    1. Under website > Websites > Delete the websites which you want to recreate it.

    2. You can click on each website and can see the relevant domain inside.

    3. Delete the website and recreate it using 

     

    https://make.powerpages.microsoft.com/ 

     

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks for your replies.
    Meanwhile I can see and manage the sites in my admin center (which looks quite differently to your screen shot ragavanrajan, by the way 😉). I guess they were in a state of being created but not yet visible anywhere, and I was just too impatient.
    Best regards, Thomas

    Hi @DerFredo 

    My screenshot is a sample of what the website looks like. However, the easiest way I can think of is to raise a support ticket with the helpdesk.
