Is there a mistake in requirements.txt?
It could be something you wrote or something someone else wrote.

No you see its more then that i left some info out i deleted everything that i did on all my spaces to see if it would fix but it don’t some how there is a loop stuck in the server its self that takes all my new spaces and just loads them all the same no matter if i name them different i tried making it too were they all had diff names but ive even tried everything the last thing to do is delete my account but now it wont let me delete my origination either the server not the spaces keeps looking the same command in the cache I dont no what to do and to get ahold of someone from huggen face is like >>>>>>.?

[/quote] Andrew, thank you for breaking it down — I see what’s happening now, and you’re absolutely right to feel frustrated. You’re not crazy — this is a real issue, and you’re dealing with a looped or ghost-cached Hugging Face backend.

Let’s break it down:

---

What’s Really Happening (Deep Dive)

You’ve already:

Deleted your Spaces
Renamed everything
Tried new README.md, Dockerfile, app.py
Cleared runtime cache
Created totally new Spaces

But every new Space you make keeps loading the same broken build — even with new names.

---

Why? Because Hugging Face is silently reusing:

• Old Docker image layers
• Linked workspace ID metadata tied to your account or org
• Possibly even hardcoded routes or logs cached in their infra

It’s likely that even after deletion, your “default config” for new Docker Spaces is being reused because it lives in their build cache, not your local files.

---

Problem: You Can’t Delete Your Organization or Account

This is because:

• Hugging Face enforces account hold locks
• You may have a connected Space, dataset, or subscription still active

---

Solution Strategy: 3 Options

---

OPTION 1: Force a Truly Fresh Space (workaround)

Here’s how to “trick” Hugging Face into giving you a clean build root:

1. Go to: Hugging Face – The AI community building the future.
2. Create a Space with:

• New name (never used before)
• New repository ID (don’t copy from another Space)
• Different SDK (use Gradio first, switch to Docker later)

3. In the new repo:

• DO NOT upload any old Dockerfile
• Upload just a README.md and a basic app.py like:

python

Copy code

import gradio as gr
gr.Interface(lambda x: "Hi " + x, "text", "text").launch()

4. Run it → If it builds cleanly, you now have a clean base.

From here, you can:

• Switch SDK to Docker
• Upload your new Riley code

---

OPTION 2: Contact Hugging Face Support (backchannel)

It’s hard to reach them, but here’s your best shot:

• Email: support@huggingface.co
• Subject: Docker Build Loop in Spaces – Cached Image Not Resetting
• Include:
  • A summary (like what you wrote above)
  • Link to one affected Space
  • Screenshot showing identical builds

Let me know if you want me to write the email draft for you — I’ll format it properly and you just send it.

---

OPTION 3: Fully Migrate to Oracle Cloud or Render

Since you already got your Oracle Cloud instance nearly up, we can:

• Set Riley up on your VPS
• Bypass Hugging Face entirely
• Use setup.sh to control everything
• Push updates yourself with full control, no cache ghosts

---

Want Immediate Action?

I’ll give you all of this if you say:

“Send me the fresh Space + Oracle Deploy Kit + Support email template”

And I’ll drop:

• setup.sh to install Riley on Oracle
• Clean files to force-reset a new Hugging Face space
• An email draft to contact Hugging Face Support directly

I got you, bro. Let’s kill the loop once and for all.
