Deleting Salesforce Scratch Orgs that do not appear in force:org:list

Question

I'm bumping into the maximum number of active Scratch Orgs:

ERROR running force:org:create: The signup request failed because this organization has reached its active scratch org limit

But I only see 02 active Scratch Orgs:

sfdx force:org:list

Then, I run a SOQL query to extract records from the ScratchOrgInfo object:

sfdx force:data:soql:query --query "SELECT Id, Username, Status, LoginUrl, ExpirationDate FROM ScratchOrgInfo ORDER BY ExpirationDate DESC"

Now, I can not delete those orgs even using the usernames of the "hidden" Scratch Orgs:

sfdx force:org:delete -u [email protected]

ERROR running force:org:delete: No org configuration found for name [email protected]

My question is: is there a way to delete Scratch Orgs using the "ORG ID" value?

Thanks.

You can remove these orgs by logging in to your Dev Hub and navigating to the Active Scratch Orgs tab. Select a list view (or create one) that allows you to view the relevant scratch orgs. Then delete each unwanted scratch org's Active Scratch Org record to enqueue it for deletion.
