Similar to [Checkout SSH-Keys returns a 404](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/checkout-ssh-keys-returns-a-404/2780)

I just revoked my access to CircleCI from Github. Re-enable it when I connected to CircleCI again. But i get an error when I am trying to remove then add again a deploy key.

Post to [https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/github/org/project/checkout-key](https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/github/org/project/checkout-key)

It returns

```auto
{"message":"{\"message\":\"Not Found\",\"documentation_url\":\"https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#create-a-deploy-key\"}"}

```

It also break your JS.

```auto
Uncaught (in promise) Error: {"message":"Not Found","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#create-a-deploy-key"}

```

It might be a side effect of [[CircleCI Security Alert] Rotate any secrets stored in CircleCI - #107 by aaronstillwell](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/circleci-security-alert-rotate-any-secrets-stored-in-circleci/46479/107) ?

It was related to a script on our side to handle deploy key.

But I think the front should better handle this error.
