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!.
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

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.
