I uploaded a version to add-on hub for signing and then deleted it, which looks like causing a garbage left, and I cannot submit the same add-on again.

It complains following and disallow me to submit for review. Please kindly help.

**Your add-on failed validation with 1 error.Duplicate UUID found.**

Ugh, there is no need to do that, you can change the owner easily in your developer hub. Next time, please ask before you delete your add-on. You made me review your add-on for nothing.
