# Cloud provider account disappearing from Spinnaker UI

### Issue <a href="#issue" id="issue"></a>

An organization may run into a problem in between deployments where a defined cloud provider account will disappear from the Spinnaker UI. This may lead to deployment failures and/or pipelines timeouts, due to Spinnaker being unable to discover the provider’s account.

### Cause <a href="#cause" id="cause"></a>

This is known bug affecting Spinnaker versions older than 1.18.0. The issue stems from how clouddriver caches resources from deleted Spinnaker accounts, which does not purge the SQL cache automatically.
