Unfortunately deleted add-ons cannot be restored. Yes, you should be able to re-upload using a new ID.

You will need to change the `browser_specific_settings.gecko.id` field in your add-on’s manifest.json file.

Ah, my mistake. I thought you meant it got rejected at upload time. Can you share your new ID?
