Error in elasticsearch: Invalid snapshot name snapshot with the same name already in-progress

Question

I have a problem. I want to store an index that is in elasticsearch. I created a new repository for this and this repository does not have any snapshots. But when I ran the code blog below, it returned me the error message "Invalid snapshot name snapshot with the same name already in-progress ". How can I fix this problem?

I created a new repository with the following code block:

PUT /_snapshot/backup_repository
{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "compress" : "true",
    "location": "C:/backups/backup_my_index"
  }
}

just to be sure i used the code block below and the query returned me this result:

GET /_snapshot/backup_repository/_status

result:
{
  "snapshots" : [ ]
}

I wanted to make a backup with the following code block:

PUT /_snapshot/backup_repository/my_snapshot?wait_for_completion=true
{
  "indices": "my_index",
  "ignore_unavailable": true,
  "include_global_state": false,
  "metadata": {
    "taken_by": "busra duygu",
    "taken_because": "backup for my_index"
  }
}

Error :

{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "invalid_snapshot_name_exception",
        "reason" : "[backup_repository:my_snapshot] Invalid snapshot name [my_snapshot], snapshot with the same name is already in-progress"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "invalid_snapshot_name_exception",
    "reason" : "[backup_repository:my_snapshot] Invalid snapshot name [my_snapshot], snapshot with the same name is already in-progress"
  },
  "status" : 400
}

I would be very happy if you could help me.

To see if there is a snapshot that already exist with this name

GET /_snapshot/backup_repository/_all

You will also get the state of it (SUCCESS/FAILED,...)
