Deleted community in hopes of renaming it (lemmy.ml)

I'm a reddit old-timer but a relative Lemmy noob. I created a community called "electionmethods", and then realized that I wanted the name to be "election-methods". I tried deleting the community in an attempt to start over, but the old community remains. I then decided to wait, and hope that the deleted "electionmethods" went away so that I could start clean. I want it to be renamed "election-methods", since I've been running a mailing list since 1996 called the "election-methods mailing list", and I'm hoping to encourage the members of the list to use Lemmy. How do I rename "electionmethods" to "election-methods"? As a bonus, I would love it if "electionmethods" redirect to "election-methods".

I figured it out (or the software changed in the past year). Clicking on the garbage-can icon restores the community. I wouldn't have discovered that without hovering over the garbage-can icon and seeing "Restore" in the hovertext.
