Error message "This Report Unique Name already exists..."
Hi, During resolving module 'Visualizing Your Data' I've created a report Cases by Status but I've made a mistake during creation. So then I deleted this report and removed it from Bin. Then I wanted to retry the challenge but I've got error message: "Error: This Report Unique Name already exists or has been previously used. Please choose a different name." I've checked other reports preferences and Recycle Bin and I cannot find the same API name. Could you let me know how to complete this module?
It might be when we delete a report; it goes into the Recycle Bin section. Even though when we delete it from Recycle Bin section, It has to delete from Salesforce Backup Servers. The Report might still exist in the SF database which causing the above error. Every weekend SF performs clean up activities for their data. Once that happen, you can able to create Report with the same name that you are looking for.
Just put a number at the unique name (ex" Cases _by_Status1) and leave the upper name simply Cases_by_Status. The trailhead is searching for the simple dashboard name, not for the unique one.
Hope this helps you!
