Try the below solutions,

Solution 1 - If your old report still exist in recycle bin,
  • Undelete the old report from recycle bin.
  • Change that previously deleted report's name.
  • Then you can save a new report with the old name.
Solution 2
As per this thread https://developer.salesforce.com/forums?id=906F00000008pGpIAI
Even though when we delete it from Recycle Bin section, It has to delete from Salesforce Backup Servers. The Report might be still exist in the SF database which causing the above error. Every weekend SF performs clean up activities for their data. Once that happen you can able to create Report with the same name that you are looking for.

If you are System Administrator you should have access to all reports. In that case probably you or someone else has deleted the report that you may have created earlier. If you delete a report then the report unique name remains reserved and you cannot create any other report with same unique name.

If you are not a System Administrator please check if you have access to all report folders in your org and then try to find it out.

Hi Anuj,
Since, Report is not an sObject we cannot run a SOQL to find the id. However, I think your best bet would be running the report on Report itself. There you should get the list of all the reports that are in your org (except for the ones created by the users and stored in their personal folders). You will still have to eye ball it but add some date filters so that your results are less.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

If you cannot find the report you may look into the recycle bin to see if the report exists there. If you dont find it there then probably it is permanently deleted. But the name will be reserved. You cannot create another report with same unique name.
