Trying to create space for model and

Hmm…? My guess is that the whole Space itself — the repository — probably wasn’t deleted:

First, try opening the Space directly:

https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/<your-space-name>

If that page still opens, the Space probably still exists.

To delete it from the website:

1. Open the Space page.
2. Click the three-dot menu near the top.
3. Open Settings.
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom.
5. Use Delete this Space.
6. After it is actually deleted, try creating the Space again with the same name.

Be careful: deleting a Space removes the Space repository itself.

Small explanation: deleting files inside a Space, changing the SDK choice, or stopping the app is not always the same thing as deleting the whole Space. A Hugging Face Space is also a repository, so if that repository still exists, the Space name can still be taken.

The React/static part is probably a separate detail. For a React frontend, you usually do not need to find a permanent react SDK option. A React app is usually handled as a Static Space , because React is built into static files.

For example, a React/Vite Static Space often uses settings like this in the README.md YAML header:

---
title: My React Space
sdk: static
app_build_command: npm run build
app_file: dist/index.html
---

Visual help, if the Settings page is hard to find:

• Optional beginner video: How to Create a Hugging Face Space

Videos are useful for recognizing the UI, but the exact buttons can change over time, so I would trust the forum screenshots and the official docs first.
