Can't Delete Webmatrix Site

Question

From the "My Sites" view, one-by-one I selected several web sites I wanted to delete. For each I was given the option of "delete site" or "delete site and content". I chose "delete site and content."

However, when afterward I chose to re-create one of those deleted sits Webmatrix says "A site named 'MySite' already exists - You will need to enter a different site name."

What do I need to do to make WebMatrix REALLY delete a site? Why didn't it completely delete the sites I requested in the first place?

Answer 1

You probably need to delete the site's entry in your applicationhost.config file. This can usually be found in Documents > IISExpress > config.
