New-Azurewebsite conflicts with non existing sites

[banibal]

New-Azurewebsite throws error: Website with given name [name] already exists.
But i cant see the site(s) in azure portal.
And when i run Get-Azurewebsite it only returns the sites that i actually can see in the portal.
I have also tried to run Remove-Azurewebsite, but these "ghost" sites doesnt get deleted.

someone with same problem?

Can only think that the conflicting website already exists under azurewebsites.net, which is shared across all Azure. Same as trying to create a new site through the management portal, but the name is not available.

@andybatescc Your assessment is correct, the website name has to be globally unique. To test it out before creation, use:

Test-AzureName -Website <websitename>

To determine if the website is already in use.

I get this error message also when creating a webapp in a brand new ASE with its own domain. It seems a webapp in the ASE (that has a private domain) conflicts with a webapp that uses the .azurewebsites.net domain. Any way to work around this issue?
