Error 500 when deleting environments

I can't delete some environments I don't need through the web admin panel. Error 500 occurs.

I’m bumping this thread. I still can't delete the corrupted environments from my account; I keep getting a "request failed (500)" error. Please help me delete the corrupted environments.

Hi There, I'll try to get this fixed up today so you can delete the environment and recreate as you need to. The delete attempt previously failed mid-transaction, so the environment is in a weird state.

I only have 4 corrupted environments there. Delete them (root@0c61c78dd402, root@1be2157247d2, root@5a19b1f75926, root@0c61c78dd402).

These should be cleaned up now, but let me know if otherwise.
