I have a space that I need to delete. In a few months I will need to create it again using the same name, will it allow me to name the space the same name of the previously deleted space?

Welcome @zoe_baldwin 

Yes you can, since it will be removed from the database and then re-added to the database (I know this is a cloud version).

Hi @zoe_baldwin 

Just to expand on @Nikola Perisic answer, ensure the space is properly deleted and are not visible in the Confluence settings > Data management > Trashed spaces.

When you trash a space, it's automatically purged after 60 days BUT it's always a prudent to double check
