Solutions

1. List deployed sites first: npx remotion cloudrun sites ls --region=<region>.
2. Copy the exact site ID from the listing into the rm command.
3. Verify the --region flag matches the region where the site was created.

Example fix

# before
npx remotion cloudrun sites rm wrong-id --region=us-central1
# after
npx remotion cloudrun sites ls --region=us-central1
# then use the exact id:
npx remotion cloudrun sites rm <exact-id> --region=us-central1

const sites = await getSites(region);
const exists = args.every(name => sites.sites.some(s => s.id === name.trim()));
if (!exists) throw new Error('One or more site IDs do not exist in the region');

When it happens

Trigger: Running `remotion cloudrun sites rm <siteName>` where <siteName> does not match any s.id in the deployed sites list for the target region.

Common situations: Typo in the site name, the site was already deleted, or the site exists in a different region than the one targeted.
