Is it possible to reuse an itch URL?

I took part in a game jam and used Itch to host the finished prototype. I was planning to continue working on the project, but figured I would come up with a different name for the game in the meanwhile. Lo and behold, the placeholder name became the official name, as such things often do. I've uploaded a demo version, and I plan to eventually release the full game.

The original prototype was uploaded to joshuagalecki.itch.io/caravana, while the demo was uploaded to joshuagalecki.itch.io/caravana-demo.  I would like to use the /caravana URL for the full game. If possible, I'd also like the game to show up under the 'new games' pages on Itch for increased visibility. Is it possible to, say, delete the prototype project and create a new project using that old URL? Or would I have to create a /caravana-game URL to get 'new game' visibility?

You can reuse the same game page, and post a devlog marked as Major Update to get your project bumped at the top of the list again. Of course, if you'd rather make a new page entirely, that's fine too.

Great, thanks!
