Can I delete an old account, create a new one, and upload a few photos that were in the old account

Hi everyone! I am a photographer, contributor of Adobe Stock. Can I delete an old account, create a new one, and upload a few photos that were in the old account?
Why am I doing this? Because I didn't deal with the old account, and now I've taken over 1,500 good photos that I don't want to upload to the old account because I started working on a new food photography theme! But there are some popular photos that I would like to upload from the old acanthus to the new one

I think this will hurt you more than help you. Taking down images is risky.  There's no guarantee that Adobe will accept them a 2nd time.

 

A diverse portfolio is good to have.  I would keep the original account.  If you've had 2nd thoughts about some of the images in your collection, you can remove them.  Then submit your food photos. 

 

Just my 2 cents.

Another thought: I believe that if you withdraw your photos, then people who paid, but did not download, can no longer download the photos from their library. If they then find you are selling the photos again under a different account, they may be less than impressed.

 

Adobe also checks for duplicate pictures; they may reject your attempt to upload the pictures again, even though it was still the same photographer.

It does not hurt your account, having new, fresh pictures.
