Unable to create or delete catalog in Vertex AI Product Recognizer

Google AI Studio

Hi everyone,

I initially made a first attempt with the API last week, and now I’m trying to start from scratch again — I tried to delete everything and I already removed the associated bucket.

Now I’m stuck:

I can’t create a new catalog — the API returns:

{
  "name": "...",
  "done": true,
  "error": {
    "code": 13,
    "message": "an internal error has occurred"
  }
}

  • I currently have no endpoints (all were deleted successfully)

  • I have no indexes (all were deleted successfully)

  • I cannot delete the remaining catalog:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "Resource '…' has nested resources. If the API supports cascading delete, set 'force' to true to delete it and its nested resources.",
    "status": "FAILED_PRECONDITION"
  }
}

  • I cannot delete a product either (same “nested resources” error)

  • I cannot delete a product image:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 500,
    "message": "An internal error has occurred",
    "status": "INTERNAL"
  }
}
  • I have no productSet active.

Has anyone seen this exact scenario (attempting a full reset, catalog stuck, unable to create or delete)? I’d appreciate any tips on how to identify hidden dependencies, logs/operation IDs to check, or a way to force-clean the catalog.

Thanks in advance for your help!
