My free instance was unresponsive and I decided to delete it and create a new one. For the past 4 days I have been getting the following message when trying to create a new instance: "You must wait while your Free instance is cleaned up" ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/stardog/original/2X/2/20d12922159cd25a1637954fcd48b2a9b2067baf.png) How long does this process take? ---

Hello Andrew, I apologize for the inconvenience. You should now be able to allocate another Stardog Cloud Free instance. Please try again. ---
