Can't delete or overwrite function that failed to deploy earlier

I had an error in a function and when I tried to deploy it, it failed with an error message. I then fixed the error and tried to redeploy, but it would still show me the same error message. So I thought I could delete the function, but it still produces the same error. I even tried to re-deploy with an empty index.js file, to reset it, but it wouldn’t work. The working functions get deleted successfully, but the function that had the error in it, won’t go. I’ll paste the command line output, that should make it clearer what the error is:

$ mv index.js index.bak
$ touch index.js
$ firebase deploy

=== Deploying to 'foo'...

i  deploying functions
i  functions: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
i  runtimeconfig: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
✔  runtimeconfig: all necessary APIs are enabled
✔  functions: all necessary APIs are enabled
i  functions: preparing functions directory for uploading...
i  starting release process (may take several minutes)...
i  functions: deleting function bar...
i  functions: deleting function foo...
i  functions: deleting function fooNew...
⚠  functions[foo]: Deploy Error: Failed to configure trigger GCS Bucket: undefined
✔  functions[bar]: Successful delete operation.
✔  functions[fooNew]: Successful delete operation.
✔  functions: 2 function(s) deployed successfully.

Then if I leave index.js empty and re-run deploy, I get:

$ firebase deploy --only functions

=== Deploying to 'foo'...

i  deploying functions
i  functions: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
i  runtimeconfig: ensuring necessary APIs are enabled...
✔  runtimeconfig: all necessary APIs are enabled
✔  functions: all necessary APIs are enabled
i  functions: preparing functions directory for uploading...
i  starting release process (may take several minutes)...
i  functions: deleting function foo...
⚠  functions[foo]: Deploy Error: Failed to configure trigger GCS Bucket: undefined

No matter how many times I re-run the command, it produces the same output. For some reason it won’t delete the foo function.

I recently had an issue similar to this. I was trying to deploy functions, but the previous deployment was still in process (for like 15 minutes). I tried to delete the functions from the Google Cloud Functions console manually, and the delete process itself then took another 10 minutes. Eventually, they did delete and I was able to re-deploy. I think there was something funky going on, on Google’s end.

After the delete completed successfully, I was able to deploy again without issue.
