Hi Hanhs,
The v2009 behavior of not being able to undelete an ad is consistent
with the AdWords interface, which also prohibits that action. Josip
provides some good advice here, which is that you can put off deleting
an ad until after the new ad was successfully created, or perhaps

deletion in one call. I will look into that.
We typically edit a number of ads in an ad group at a time, and
