>                 Key: SOLR-18008
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-18008
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 8.11, 9.8
>            Reporter: Eric Pugh
>            Priority: Major
>
> Today in some production systems where we delete and create collections with 
> the same name, we sometimes have left over files after deleting the cores.   
> The existence of these files causes any future collection creation to fail 
> because when the individual core is created, we see we already have the 
> remnant on disk. 
> See the BATS test 
> [https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/4d86c8cd128d59a65476dded34ec9c1947e67778/solr/packaging/test/test_create_collection2.bats]
>  for an example of this situation.  
> In a perfect world of course we wouldn't have these remnants, however I 
> currently don't have the ability to debug why they intermittantly happen.  I 
> only know that when we go to make a new one we get errors similar to:
> Error CREATEing SolrCore xxxxxx: Could not create a new core in 
> /var/solr/xxxxxx *as another core is already defined there*
> RequestHandlerBaseorg.apache.solr.common.SolrException: *Cannot unload 
> non-existent core*
> Underlying core creation failed while creating collection
>  
> The fix is unfortunantly to log onto the specific Solr box and execute a 
> command similar to:
>  
> rm -rf 
> /var/solr/master_\{nameOfCollection}_\{indexMode}{shardNumber}\{replicaNumber}
> This Jira is to explore how we can at least handle this failure case in a 
> better way, and allow the new create collection command to go through.
