Create wandb run with run name that was previously deleted

wandb --version && python --version && uname

• Weights and Biases version: version 0.8.31 (I also had same issue on 0.9.4)
• Python version: 3.7.3
• Operating System: Linux

Description

I deleted one run in wandb web interface. Then I tried to create new run with the same name as deleted run, but I got error (see below). I often find useful to experiment with wandb logging before using it in training. Because wandb doesn’t allow overwriting data, I have to create new run every time for small test or wait until run overwrite all previous data. I think it would be more convenient for development to allow delete run (to clean run data) and then create new run with the same name.

What I Did

here is traceback

+1 on creating run with the id of a previously deleted run. Would greatly help me in reducing the complexity of resuming.
