Failed to delete collection (${response.status}).

Error message

Failed to delete collection (${response.status}).

What it means

Thrown by useDeleteMarketplace when POST /v1/marketplaces/:id/delete returns a non-ok status. getRequestError substitutes the server's error message or the fallback 'Failed to delete collection (<status>)'. The query's onSuccess cleanup (removeQueries) never runs because the throw happens first, so cached data stays as-is.

Solutions

1. For 403, confirm the user has owner/admin rights on the collection before deleting.
2. For 404, treat as already-deleted: invalidate/remove the marketplace queries and refresh the UI.
3. For 409, remove or reassign dependent resources (published plugins) and retry.
4. For 401, re-authenticate; for 5xx, retry with backoff and check Den server health.
5. Check isReauthRequiredError to trigger the re-auth flow.

Example fix

// before
await deleteMarketplace(id);
// after
try {
  await deleteMarketplace(id);
} catch (err) {
  if (isReauthRequiredError(err)) { startReauth(); }
  else if (/\(404\)/.test(err.message)) { queryClient.removeQueries({ queryKey: marketplaceQueryKeys.resolved(id) }); }
  else setDeleteError(err.message);
}

// before deleteMarketplace
if (!marketplaceId) throw new Error("Missing collection id");
if (!canManage(marketplace)) throw new Error("You do not have permission to delete this collection");

function isAlreadyDeleted(err: unknown): boolean {
  return err instanceof Error && /\(404\)/.test(err.message);
}

try {
  await deleteMarketplace(id);
} catch (err) {
  if (isReauthRequiredError(err)) startReauth();
  else if (isAlreadyDeleted(err)) { queryClient.removeQueries({ queryKey: marketplaceQueryKeys.resolved(id) }); }
  else showError(err.message);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Non-ok response from the delete endpoint (15000ms timeout): 403 when the caller is not an owner/admin of the collection, 404 when it was already deleted, 409 when the server refuses deletion (e.g., plugins still published), 401 for expired sessions, 5xx for server faults.

Common situations: Trying to delete a shared/org collection without owner rights; double-click delete causing the second 404; server-side referential-integrity rules blocking deletion; expired Den session.
