Hi Community,

Up until recently I was happily deleting deltaTables in ADLS Gen with their associated _delta_log table, and subsequently recreating the same table with a new _delta_log table.

Now, after deleting a table with its associated _delta_log table when I attempt to create a new table with the same name I get the error:

DeltaIllegalStateException: The protocol of your Delta table could not be recovered while Reconstructing version: 0. Did you manually delete files in the _delta_log directory?

Has Databricks changed something that prevents people from recreating new deltaTables with the same table name?

Can someone please let me know how to resolve this.
