Not able to create a unity metastore in a specified region

[RC]

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​ :

It's possible that the metadata of the previously deleted metastore is still being cached somewhere, which is causing the issue.

You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check if there are any lingering resources from the previously deleted metastore, such as an S3 bucket or a Glue catalog. If so, delete them.
2. Try creating the metastore in a different region and see if it works. If it does, then it confirms that the issue is specific to the us-east-1 region.
3. If none of the above steps work, contact Databricks support for further assistance. They should be able to help you identify the root cause of the issue and provide a solution.
