Hmm…? My guess is that the whole Space itself — the repository — probably wasn’t deleted:

* * *

First, try opening the Space directly:

```plaintext
https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/<your-space-name>

```

If that page still opens, the Space probably still exists.

To delete it from the website:

1. Open the Space page.
2. Click the **three-dot menu** near the top.
3. Open **Settings**.
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom.
5. Use **Delete this Space**.
6. After it is actually deleted, try creating the Space again with the same name.

Be careful: deleting a Space removes the Space repository itself.

Small explanation: deleting files inside a Space, changing the SDK choice, or stopping the app is not always the same thing as deleting the whole Space. A Hugging Face Space is also a repository, so if that repository still exists, the Space name can still be taken.

The React/static part is probably a separate detail. For a React frontend, you usually do not need to find a permanent `react` SDK option. A React app is usually handled as a **Static Space** , because React is built into static files.

For example, a React/Vite Static Space often uses settings like this in the `README.md` YAML header:

```yaml
---
title: My React Space
sdk: static
app_build_command: npm run build
app_file: dist/index.html
---

```

Visual help, if the Settings page is hard to find:

- [Optional beginner video: How to Create a Hugging Face Space](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqdTFyRdtjQ)

Videos are useful for recognizing the UI, but the exact buttons can change over time, so I would trust the forum screenshots and the official docs first.
