You need to wait 48 hours (probably plus an undocumented 15 minutes) from your last post, before deletion.

Click on the "repost" link next to your deleted ad. It will show your ad and then you can change the category on that page. The ad will list the category on the middle right side of the page and you can click on that to change it to the category you want.

You cannot change the section it appears in, though. For example, you can't change an ad in the "for sale" section and move it to the "community" section. You will have to wait 48 hours if you want to do that.
