  Delete or Rename Existing Alias:
  
  If the existing alias is no longer needed, you can delete it or rename it to free up the name for your new alias.
  
  
  
  Check for Typos:
  
  Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the alias name you are trying to create. Sometimes, similar names can lead to confusion.
