URL of experiment: [https://run.pavlovia.org/lindybc2/iat\_v1o1](https://run.pavlovia.org/lindybc2/iat_v1o1)

Description of the problem:  
I deleted the experiment due to issues updating the file. When I attempt to upload the experiment a second time, I get this error message and I am forced to “recreate the experiment” rather than start anew. I would appreciate it if you could explain how to re-upload this experiment from scratch.

Upon clicking the URL: 403 Forbidden

Error message on uploading:

Try removing the .git folder and then sync again. Does that help?

Yes, thanks, I erased all the files related to the online sync and relabeled the folder and then it works.
