Backups from the old site are still listed

I’ve removed my site from the hosting a few days ago and today I’ve created site with the same name again.

When I’m navigating to Backups tab in hosting panel I still see backups from the previous site created on Jan 8.

Why does this happen?

    Hello there Mustafa,

    hope you’re doing well today! :slight_smile:

    Well… initially this is happening because a website with the same name is created.

    The catch here is that every site-ID is tied forever with the member-ID that first created it!

    So it’s actually only the same member that can re-create the same site multiple times in the same location, thus gaining access to any previous active backups.

    Hope that clarifies things better!

    Take care,

    Dimitris
