Does this mod allow you to reuse the spell's name you deleted? For example, let's say I created a low skilled Shield spell that blocks all elemental spells, call it Ultimate Shield Spell, delete it, and then create a new spell that has better stuff in it. Can I name that spell Ultimate Shield Spell again?
Reason I ask is because I used to use a spell deleter mod and it did not allow the reuse of spell names. I believe it just removed the spell from the player's list, but actually didn't completely delete it.
i know for a fact that this cannot delete the spell becuase that would include changing the .ESP and that would crash the game if you try to edit the .ESP file while running the game. So no matter what mod you use you cannot completely remove the spell from the game.
I'm pretty sure they're referring to https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/23069 - usually if someone recs a mod that you can't find, you can just try searching for part of the name and finding the one that most closely matches. In this case, the mod is called "spell delete and item remove" which is very similar to what dancingdonut called it and also has the same features they're describing. Hope this clears up the confusion for anyone else reading these comments :)
For everyone complaining about not being able to make another spell with the same name, there's a really simple solution to your problem. Actually develop the spells.
Example; "Frostfire" was a spell made at Destruction level 25, but now that I'm a Journeyman, I want to recreate it. Either delete "Frostfire" or keep it to have a lower costing spell for easier foes. Then, just make a new version of it. Name it "Frostfire 1.5". With it now made, you can simply continue to advance the version of the spell until you reach the "Best" version of the spell.
the mod does indeed work but i have noticed a rather annoying querk, when i delete the spell like, say a custom spell, even though its no longer in my list the spell still exists, and i can't make another one, like creating a fire bloom spell er whatever, but accidentally make it a self spell instead of a targeted one, so i delete it and recreate the spell as a targeted spell and the spell making window says a spell with that name already exists, even though i "deleted" it..

try spell delete and item removal which allow you to re-use spell names
Been here 2 years longer than this one. Maybe you spelled it wrong?
