Reports & Dashboards Specialist - Deleting Incorrect Reports
Hi all,
I ha ve been doing the Reports & Dashboards Specialist Superbadge and i set up the reports incorrectly. I decided to start from scratch and i deleted the old reports with a view to recreating them correctly. The issue i have run into is that i cannot recreate the reports with the nameing conventions required and i am hoping there is a way i can completly delete the incorrect reports including the unique name?
Thanks in advance for your response.

The reason I believe you are recieveing this error is because, the previously created report and the dashboard exist with the same API Name which is unique for every report and dashboardrd. I believe you could 2 things here.
- Append a 1 to every report and dashbaord previously created so that you can create new reports and dashboards with the exact names as mentioned in the trailhead challenge.
- If you intend to delete it, have you checked if the deleted reports still exist in the Recycle Bin. If they do, you can completely delete them and then start with the challenege all over again.
Please mark the thread as SOLVED and answer as the BEST ANSWER if it helps address your issue.Recycle bin is unavailable in Salesforce Lightning Experience hence you may need to switch over to Classic, delete the reports and dashbaords completely from the Recycle Bin and then switch back to LEX and continue with the challenege if that is an option.
Are you sure you have used the All Recycle Bin option to delete everything from the Recycle Bin. Refer the following knoweldge article that helps udnerstand the deletion process from Recycle Bin better - https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=home_delete.htm&type=0.
I read through that article, followed the instructions just in case as well.
Thanks again for your time on this
Hope that helps.
