I have a similar problem. I have two accounts that are site admins, but neither can delete the sample site. It said "deleting site" but then "site can not deleted" with nothing in the log files. I tried the above curl command and get:

"Request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource.

Can anyone suggest something else to try? Explorer won't let me either, it says the folder must be deleted via Share.

I have 4.2.f.

Hi,

When you say sample site - is it the SWSDP site which ships along with Alfresco?

<blockquote>"Request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource." </blockquote>
This means that any previous request for delete is being processed by system in background but not visible on UI.

Did you try restart alfresco service and a delete thereafter?
