Hello,
We apologize for the confusion regarding your ads.txt file and the meta tag verification. You do not need to delete the meta tag verification when adding an ads.txt file. Both can coexist without any issues.
The ads.txt file is used to declare authorized digital sellers of your ad inventory, while the meta tag is used for verifying ownership of your website with services like AdSense. Therefore, you can keep both in place to ensure proper functionality for your ads.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with adding the ads.txt file, feel free to ask!

Hello,
The meta tag helps your platform to implement the ads.txt, so you can create the file without removing the meta tag.
You may refer to this section as well:

Looking forward to helping you.
