I created a site with a specific name under firebase hosting i.e myapp-zzzzzz

I then thought of a better name and deleted the site myapp-zzzzzz under firebase hosting and created a new one myapp-yyyyyyyy.

Then I changed my mind and decided to create a site with original name myapp-zzzzzz again , however it seems due to firebase caching site names I now get the error :

Site name is unavailable. Available: myapp-zzzzzz-69f55

I tested this with using random suffixlike so myapp-randomSuffix

Are the site names unavailable for certain duration after deletion? or are they permanently unavailable?

    The question is referring to site name under hosting not firebase project name – jasan Mar 20 '21 at 03:47

Deleting a site is a permanent action. If you delete a site, Firebase doesn't maintain records of deployed files or deployment history, and the SITE_ID cannot be reactivated by you or anyone else.

Delete a secondary site
