Note: Problem encountered after deleting a model using the website:  
(I am assuming that ‘project’ and ‘model’ are synonyms)  
[🔥 [New] You can now delete a model from the website!](/static-proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscuss.huggingface.co%2Ft%2Fnew-you-can-now-delete-a-model-from-the-website%2F2481).  
If a model is created with the same name again,the project (model) is created. However on attempt to load data, the following error occurs:  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “/home/vv/git/hf/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/huggingface\_hub/repository.py”, line 359, in git\_pull

File “/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py”, line 516, in run  
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, process.args,  
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command ‘[‘git’, ‘pull’]’ returned non-zero exit status 128.

I have tried this twice, and finally ended up creating a model with a different name. So it appears that model deletion still leaves some remnants that lead to this issue.
