Hey there !
I’ve been creating some badges a long time ago. Now that I don’t need them anymore, I’ve tried deleting them, but for some reason it won’t work ; an error pops up instead. Pls help ! :content:

I’ve tried deactivating the badge first and also unchecking all option boxes, but I still have this issue.
Thank you all in advance ! \<3

Can’t help you, but I’ve also struggled with badges and this generic error message lately. I would love to see more specific messages. I’ve ended up using [example.com/logs](http://example.com/logs), [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true), and a lot of fiddling to resolve badge issues.

Maybe check the logs in your admin ?

Well I’ve checked the logs; it just mentions the action of deleting a badge, but no its failure neither the error that occured ☹

I’m receiving the same generic error message while trying to delete a badge.

Thanks for this, I’ve identified the source of the issue! Edited the cause into the title 😉 I expect to have it fixed this week.
