I am not able to add a user because "Email already used in a Box account but not associated with an enterprise."  The other box account was erroneously opened and then deleted.  I've tried the work-arounds listed in community posts (press Save twice; email in all lowercase), but they don't work.

    Hello, 1912252331745

    It sounds like you’ve tried some common workarounds without success. This issue can be quite frustrating. Here are a few additional steps you might consider:

    Contact Box Support: They can help resolve the issue on their end. fidelity
    Revert to Old Interface: Some users have had success with this method.
    Change Email Address: Use a different email for the deleted account to free up the original one.
    Confirm Account Deletion: Ensure the account was fully deleted, not just deactivated.
    If these don’t work, Box Support is your best bet.

    Best regards
