Cannot delete db via UI

I have an unattached Postgres in a workspace, and the deletion flow seems to be broken. It's asking me to type in the volume name, and even if you do, I'm still unable to delete.

Also created this Loom video for more details: https://www.loom.com/share/9e2023f2db7b4ca2b084e6c207bf1462

Your screenshot shows the confirmation text typed to match, yet the Commit button stays disabled with the "Input text must match the confirmation text exactly" message, and you hold the Admin role on both of your workspaces, so permissions are not what is blocking the delete.

We could not determine the cause from what we can see, and we are not able to open the Loom video. To narrow it down, could you share which browser and version you are using, whether the name was typed by hand or pasted, whether the same thing happens in a different browser, and the approximate time in UTC of your most recent attempt?

The volume's name actually ends with a trailing space (postgres-translation-helper rather than postgres-translation-helper), which the dialog doesn't show, so the text you typed is one character short of an exact match. Typing the name followed by a single space should enable the Commit button.

That commit applies the whole staged changeset for production, which currently also includes APIFY_TOKEN variable changes on marketing-manager and marketing-manager-cron alongside the volume deletion.
