Perforce Depot - Cannot delete depot

Question

I cannot delete my stream Depot even though I've deleted all the streams of it. I tried the solution listed here: https://portal.perforce.com/s/article/2546 but it didn't work. Please help.

PS C:\Users\xxxx> p4 streams //test/...
//test/... - no such stream.
PS C:\Users\xxxx> p4 depot -d -f test
Depot 'test' is the location of existing streams; cannot delete until they are removed.

Answer 1

In case anyone is facing the same issue, here are the steps I took to delete the depot successfully:

1. delete all the related workspaces
2. obliterate the streams
3. delete streams:
   • When you delete the streams from P4V, what gets executed is "p4 obliterate -y -T //testDepot/...", which won't actually delete the streams
   • Run "p4 streams -a" in the shell and you will see the streams which are marked as "delete"
   • Run "p4 stream --obliterate -y  //testDepot/main" allows you to actually delete the stream (the main stream in this example)
4. Finally, you'll be able to delete the depot after all the streams are deleted.
