I use P4Admin to create Stream Depot (named streamDepot) in perforce, then I create a Stream(main) by client, I populated it with client workspace and with a project. But when I try to obliterate the files and delete that streamDepot depot with P4Admin, I got no luck. Message says:

Depot 'streamDepot' is the location of existing streams; cannot delete until they are removed.

So what is the meaning of existing streams? I already deleted client namespace and files which mapped to streamDepot's Stream(main). What should I do? I dont see any files in streamDepot (no main stream or stream types) with viewing P4Admin by Depots Tab.

When you created the Streamdepot you created a main stream along with it (I believe, its been a while since we set ours up.) I would hazard a guess you just need to delete that stream and then you should be good to delete the depot. look for //streamdepot/Main obliterate the files, obliterate the stream, obliterate the depot.
