  Use a Different Namespace: If applicable, consider using a different namespace for your new object to avoid conflicts with existing objects.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of deleting or modifying existing objects, consult your organization's documentation or reach out to a colleague with more experience in the specific area.
