title: Coverity Scan does not release name of deleted project
body: <p>I maintain coverity for nanodbc project at <a href="https://scan.coverity.com/projects/lexicalunit-nanodbc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://scan.coverity.com/projects/lexicalunit-nanodbc</a></p>
  
  <p>I also registered new project for nanodbc at <a href="https://scan.coverity.com/projects/nanodbc-nanodbc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://scan.coverity.com/projects/nanodbc-nanodbc</a> that points to new location of git repository at GitHub.</p>
  
  <p>I realised I can rename the old existing project pointing to that new location.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I went to Coverity Scan > nanodbc/nanodbc > Project Settings and deleted the project. Yes, there was Delete button - apparently, it is available for projects which have not submitted any builds yet.</li>
  <li>I went to Coverity Scan > lexicalunit/nanodbc > Project Settings > hit Rename button > selected nanodb/nanodbc repository at GitHub from the drop-down list</li>
  <li>Scan Coverity failed to rename with "Name already registered". </li>
  </ol>

  <p>Loading <a href="https://scan.coverity.com/projects/nanodbc-nanodbc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://scan.coverity.com/projects/nanodbc-nanodbc</a> gives HTTP 404, so the project has been deleted indeed, but the name apparently has not been released.</p>
  
  <p>Why Coverity does not allow to re-use name of deleted project? Isn't there any workaround?</p>
  
  <p>Is that due to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/36703264/151641">this explanation</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>We generally do not delete projects from SCAN as we keep aggregate metrics on the projects.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>As I mentioned, the nanodbc/nanodbc project I created initially had not submitted any builds to analyze.</p>
  
  <p>By the way, Coverity Scan via Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mloskot/status/950483798495555590" rel="nofollow noreferrer">does not seem to be responsive</a></p>
