Getting this error on AWS RDS with MS SQL

Database XXX cannot be restored because there is already an existing database with the same file_guids on the instance.

I've imported from S3 once, it worked. Deleted the database and tried to import a more recent version FULL DB and it broke.

I've created a new instance also but still get the error. I can import other DBs from S3 fine.

Anyone have any ideas that can help?
