Hi! Thank you for your feed back!
I was instructed to make a change and re-record, however I am asking how do I change my recording while using the same file name? I'm getting an error message of " The project was not saved because the file name provided would overwrite another project. Please try again and select an original name."
Also I have sample recordings and cant figure out how to delete the ones I no longer want.
Thank you for your help

I'm merging your two threads together, and moving them to the "Need Help" forum.

Is it Audacity telling you you cannot use the same file name, or the uploader? Either way, this is the first I've ever heard of such a thing. :hmm:

Have you tried saving with a different file name, but when you export, use the same file name. Yes, it will overwrite any other MP3 with that name in that folder, but that's no big deal.
