  I have changed my username on this account so I could transfer it to my another account, however an error that says ‘Sorry, that username already exists!’ comes up and does not let me to do so. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  You can’t transfer a username from one account to another.

  When you changed your username, it was very clearly stated the old username would be locked forever.

  So there is no way back.

  What is the site and and recipient username you’re looking to to migrate exactly?
