  "textContent": "Hmm…? My guess is that the whole Space itself — the repository — probably wasn’t deleted:\n\n* * *\n\nFirst, try opening the Space directly:\n\n\n    https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/<your-space-name>\n\n\nIf that page still opens, the Space probably still exists.\n\nTo delete it from the website:\n\n  1. Open the Space page.\n  2. Click the **three-dot menu** near the top.\n  3. Open **Settings**.\n  4. Scroll all the way to the bottom.\n  5. Use **Delete this Space**.\n  6. After it is actually deleted, try creating the Space again with the same name.\n\n\n\nBe careful: deleting a Space removes the Space repository itself.\n\nSmall 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nFor example, a React/Vite Static Space often uses settings like this in the `README.md` YAML header:\n\n\n    ---\n    title: My React Space\n    sdk: static\n    app_build_command: npm run build\n    app_file: dist/index.html\n    ---\n\n\nUseful references:\n\n  * Short forum answer: deleting a Space from Settings\n  * Spaces Overview\n  * Static HTML Spaces\n\n\n\nVisual help, if the Settings page is hard to find:\n\n  * Forum thread: Turning off or Deleting Spaces\n  * Optional beginner video: How to Create a Hugging Face Space\n\n\n\nVideos 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.",
