Can you delete android play store app and use the package name?

Question

I have an app that's currently on the Google Play store with the package name x.x.x. I want to delete this app but I want to reuse the package name for a new app that I will be uploading in its place.

Is it possible to just delete the old app, and upload the new app with the existing package name?

Thanks,

No, because you can't really delete an app. It will only be disabled. So this app will still be visible in your developer console.
