Publishing new app with same package name

Question

I messed up and accidently lost my key to my app so I have to take down my app and put the new one. Can I keep the same package name or do I need to change it? I unpublished my old app but is there a way to delete it so I can use the same package name?

Thanks!

you can update or launch new version with same package but can not create another app. — Shivang Trivedi, Oct 15 '13 at 04:06

1 Once you have published your app on google play you can only unpublish it .Deleting the entire app you cannot do it.

2 You cannot create two apps with the same package and upload to play store.

3 Unpublish your current app ...and create a new app with a different package and take care of your keystore :):)

You can't use same package name for more than 1 apps. You can unpublish your app but you can't delete it entirely.
