Not able to create a unity metastore in a specified region

Hi Team,

I'm not able to create a metastore in a region (us-east-1).

It tells me that "This region already contains a metastore. Only a single metastore is allowed per region"

But we don't have any metastore. Earlier we had one metastore we had deleted it. Now we are not able to recreate it again. Is there any other place dbr saves the metadata of the metastore?

@Rajath C can you please re-check if it has been properly deleted and if still old one has been tied to any of workspaces. also try to delete that storage if no data exists and retry

No I have cleared it completely, it is not attached to any workspace. I tried with new workspace as well but same issue. That's why I was wondering if Databricks is saving some sort of metadata internally
