Re: DUPLICATE_ADGROUP_NAME when re-creating removed ad group
Hi Razvan, You should be able to create AdGroups with the same name as that of a removed AdGroup. Are you facing issues while doing this? If so, could you please share the complete SOAP logs of the upload operation and the response log so that I can troubleshot the issue?

Re: DUPLICATE_ADGROUP_NAME when re-creating removed ad group
Hi Anthony, thanks for getting back. Could you clarify whether that means that it's now possible to rename a deleted ad group or to re-activate it from the removed state (or both)?

Re: DUPLICATE_ADGROUP_NAME when re-creating removed ad group
Hi there, sorry to revive this old thread, but I just wanted to clarify whether it's still the case that once an ad group is set to removed state, its name can never again be used in the containing campaign (as re-enabling or renaming the ad group is not possible)?
