How can I undelete a BigQuery table after I already created a new one with the same name?
<p>I accidentally deleted a table in BigQuery and I'd very much like to undelete it. I've read the answer in "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27537720/how-can-i-undelete-a-bigquery-table">How can I undelete a BigQuery table?</a>" but in my case I already created a table with the same name, and now when I try to copy a snapshot with the timestamp being the time I created the new table with the same name, I get an error saying:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"error ... invalid snapshot time for table ... cannot read before
  "</p>
</blockquote>

<p>BTW, the timestamp is from a few hours ago. The whole thing happened in the last 24 hours. </p>

<p>So it seems to me that the problem is that BQ is trying to get a snapshot of the new table, while I need a snapshot of the old table with the same name.</p>

<p>Is there a way for me to access a snapshot of the older incarnation of the table to restore it?</p>
