Image orig sha512 hash has already been taken

Does anyone know what to do about this? Would appreciate some help here. Can’t seem to upload an image. :<

It means the same image already exists on the site.
 
Yes, it’s not a very friendly error message.

The thing is, I asked for the images to be taken down yesterday, so they should not be up at all. I was going to re-upload it again today, tagged differently as well as just a single image, but yeah I can’t…

When an image is deleted, its unique hash is still kept to ensure it can’t be reuploaded, since in 99.99% of cases the point of deleting an image is that it’s not meant to exist anymore.
 
The site allows for uploader credit changing, image file updating, image post merging, etc.; image deletion really is only meant to be requested when the image isn’t meant to exist on the site.
 
You should contact a moderator or try the Discord support channel if you want an image undeleted, or to reupload a previously deleted image.
