How to override Peertube refusing to recreate an account/channel with the exact same names?

Sometimes, a channel/account is screwed up and can’t be recovered. Root can delete the channel and account, however Peertube won’t let you start again with the same names.

How can we fix this? What needs to be changed/edited?
Could Peertube support this as a feature?

Hi,

What do you mean by « screwed up »?

Thanks, Chocobozzz. They were unable to stream to their account anymore. Their stream-keys wouldn’t work. They tried other ones and that didn’t solve it. In the end, it was easier to just delete their account and ask them to start again from scratch. Peertube won’t let that happen.

Do you have server error logs to provide so we can fix the root cause of your issue?
