The account I tried to delete has not been deleted.

So I can't change my email address on another account.

When I try to change the email address, I get "Error Trying to Add Email to Your Account".

Can you help me?

Hi Rona,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm not good at English. Sorry if I didn't communicate it well.

 

I did the following, Account Settings > Permanently Delete Account.

 

I then received the following email.

In English,

And next, in another account,

Account settings > Link Personal Email > lmvuJgzfSgnF7kjsI4d5X2Bog.png

Here, I entered the address of an account that I thought I had deleted.

I want to use that once tried to erase address on another account.

However, the account has not been completely deleted and the address cannot be set to another account.

Once that account is completely deleted, that address should work for another account.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,

Reina.

Hi Rona,

Forgive me for continuing to ask this question.
 
The account I want to delete completely is not the account I am logged into to ask the question now.
 
Should I give you the information about the account I want to delete completely when I get an email from the support team?
 
Best regards.
 
Reina.
