Cannot create a metastore anymore

Hi Community,

I am trying to create a metastore for the Unity Catalog, but I am getting an error saying that there is already a metastore in the region, which is not true, because I deleted all the metastores. I used to have one working properly, but I deleted it. Also, I tried to create a metastore in another different region for the very first time, and I am getting the same error. I deleted all the resource groups, but still I am not able to create a metastore again. I am the Account Admin of the Databricks account. What else should I do? Thanks in advance

I have been facing the same issue. Cannot create a metastore in any region. Every time it says "there's a metastore already in this region" but the fact is I don't and then it goes and creates a metastore without the default storage credential. Screenshot 2023-11-07 205445.png
