New-SqlCloneImage gives 'Image already exists'

• 
  Remove-SqlCloneImage should fully remove the image. Could you send us a screenshot of dashboard on the web UI?

  Ah - I mean the SQL Clone web UI, not the PowerShell interface.

  The web UI gives no problems indeed, but it is our intention to use powershell, because we have so many databases.

  That's fine, you can use PowerShell, but the quickest way for me to get an overview of the situation so I can help would be a screenshot of the web UI.

  Here you have a screen copy of the web UI.

  OK - so SQL Clone still things the ProPolis_FinancieelSSI... image still exists. An image isn't just a file - it's also metadata stored in SQL Clone, so just deleting the file won't delete the image, you always need to delete image from SQL Clone. I'm not sure why running Remove-SqlCloneImage didn't work though.

  
  

  Most SQL Clone cmdlets just start an operation, and return immediately, including Remove-SqlCloneImage. They return an operation id that you can then pass to Wait-SqlCloneOperation. Could you try running Remove-SqlCloneImage again, piping the output to Wait-SqlCloneOperation? Like in example 2 on https://documentation.red-gate.com/clone2/automation/powershell-cmdlet-reference/remove-sqlcloneimage?

  Then I get an error on Remove-SqlCloneImage. See attachment. Same error when I try to remove the image in the Web UI.

  Ah, turns out SQL Clone can't delete an image if its backing folder has been deleted outside of SQL Clone. This is a bug in SQL Clone which I have now fixed. We will hopefully release today, if not Monday.
