A few of my Spaces have been “Building” for weeks. It’s happened in the past when it’s “Building” for a few days and then I reset it and its fine. But this time around it won’t start! I tried everything… restarting, factory rebuild, deleting files and then re-uploading, etc. > **[Virtual Try-On Pro - a Hugging Face Space by tonyassi](https://huggingface.co/spaces/tonyassi/Virtual-Try-On-Pro)** > > Discover amazing ML apps made by the community > **[Face Swap - a Hugging Face Space by tonyassi](https://huggingface.co/spaces/tonyassi/face-swap)** > > Image deep fake (uncensored) ---

I created a new Zero GPU space and uploaded the source code, and the build itself completed. It seems to be due to the build stack problem in Spaces that has been occurring frequently recently. This is a phenomenon in which Spaces itself stops progressing from the build, and the same code works in a different Spaces. We don’t know the details, such as whether there is some kind of flag or whether it is a malfunction of something like a cache. A relatively gentle workaround is to rename the current Spaces, change the hardware to Free CPU, and save it as Private. Then, you can place the newly created Zero GPU Space in the empty space. Ideally, it would be good if the problem could be solved properly, but in most cases like this, it takes time… ---

I’ve been facing the same issue since yesterday. I’ve tried all the suggested solutions, but none of them have worked. Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to change the CPU where the system is hosted. ---

I tried renaming and it didn’t work. I upgraded my Gradio version. I restarted the space, factory rebuild. Nothing… a lot of my spaces are experiencing this. There aren’t any fixes yet? ---

This problem has not been fixed for a long time. There may be more than one cause.😞 Also, renaming is not an option. Unless you create a completely new Spaces, the disease will continue… Re-upload the source code only. ---

Bummer 😞 hopefully there is a fix in the future. @geronimo-pericoli you still experiencing the same problem? ---

Just wanted to check in and see if there are any fixes. I have so many spaces that are permanently building. ---

It is still occurring, and the workaround is to recreate the Space, but the solution is unknown… @meganariley > [@\[HELP\] Space stuck at “Building” – slug=\`Omniscient001/Omniscient\`](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/help-space-stuck-at-building-slug-omniscient001-omniscient/159636): > > Space info URL: [Omniscient - a Hugging Face Space by Omniscient001](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Omniscient001/Omniscient) Hardware: CPU Basic Repo: Public What happens Space has been stuck at “Building” since one day ago.

I have so many spaces that are permanently building, over 15. Are there any solutions? I don’t have any build logs. ---

Nothing yet…🥶 I wonder if it can be restored manually by contacting HF via email. I have no idea if that’s possible. [website@huggingface.co](mailto:website@huggingface.co)
