Hello,  
First post / newbie to Gitea (and Git).  
After succesfully using Gitea to create a new repo, I deleted the repo directly from the command line on the Linux server. Gitea still displays the repo, but clicking on it I receive a 500 error.  
How do I remove this entry from the repo database?  
Thanks and God bless,
