Hi,

I'm trying to delete an archived document from the repository on web and keeps failing with this message

![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/3/334f5f6a6f9d2758715d52fe9e7bef30b0f0ecaa.png)

Is there anything else I can try to delete this, or is it a bug?

Thanks for the help,  
Marley

Hey @marleyb,

Could you share the URL of your repository with me so I can do a check on my end?  
You can send it via DMs if you prefer.
