My deleted collection is not present in the Admin UI. I was able to fix my problem by deleting the core using the Core API and its unload command.

Is it there? Also, deleting the core - I believe - still leaves the underlying directory on the filesystem in place. So perhaps it is actually complaining about the leftover filesystem directory when you try to create a new core with the same name/location. Check the filesystem for that directory (customer_shard1_replica1).
