How to create a new project with same name as an erased project?

[PwrPros Inc_]

I've been testing things in the system and had a project named SALES that I deleted and I am trying to create another with the same name, but the system won't let me. 

What do I need to do to be able to create another project with the same name?

Hi @PwrPros Inc_ ,

Welcome to atlassian community,

You need to delete your project permanently. To do that you must be a Jira Admin then ff this instruction - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/permanently-delete-a-service-project/ 

Hope it helps!
