Hey,  
I’m pretty much stuck at the same spot as Adam. I tried to delete my role namespace(s) (i got two, [timgrt](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/namespaces/9991/) and [TimGrt](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/namespaces/6979/)), which fails with a 405 using the curl command taken from the docs. Removing a role with the curl command did work, the namespaces are empty now.

Hi @TimGrt! Welcome to the Forum. I split this out as a new topic so it doesn’t get lost as a comment in the last one. I’ll take a look at your role namespaces. I believe only an ‘admin’ can delete the actual role namespaces (something not clear in the docs).

Okay @TimGrt - both role namespaces deleted. If this works, can you please mark this as solved?
