When I try to fork the librehealth/lh-radiology-owa repository, I get a 404 error

Have you been able to fork any other repository on the organization @lehone

I looked in your gitlab and i see the repo here [Lenya Hope / lh-radiology-owa · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/lehone-hp/lh-radiology-owa) and it looks ok

I see an error that will be addressed with [Deleting project failed - How to Use GitLab - GitLab Forum](https://forum.gitlab.com/t/deleting-project-failed/12719)

Other thoughts i had were as below

1. check that you dont have the repo already forked in your directory

I was unable to delete the initial fork so I renamed my fork as stated in [https://forum.gitlab.com/t/deleting-project-failed/12719](https://forum.gitlab.com/t/deleting-project-failed/12719) I have now been able to fork the librehealth/lh-radiology-owa repository successfully
