I have previously submitted an addon but decide to delete it because I need to change a few things in the source code to be reviewed. So I deleted the previous submission and now when I try to submit the addon again. It says “Duplicate add-on ID found”.

The add-on ID is my email “[launchuhq@gmail.com](mailto:launchuhq@gmail.com)”. If it’s possible, please reset my add-ons so I can re-submit. Thank you!

Hey @launchuhq, unfortunately that is not possible. That is why the add-on deletion page includes the bold notice below, and it requires typing the add-on slug to confirm deletion:

> **Deleting your add-on will permanently delete all versions and files you have submitted for this add-on, listed or not. The add-on ID cannot be restored and will forever be unusable for submission.**
