Hi Ven, For AdGroupAds, setting the status to DISABLED or using the REMOVE operator has the same effect. AdGroupAds can never be fully deleted, and they will always exist in your account with the status DISABLED. There is no name uniqueness requirement for ads so there should never be a problem creating a new ad with similar settings. The new ad will not share any of the history with the old ad.
