  Hi there,
  Ive got a serious problem here. I wanted to change my email address on my wordpress account, so I used the desired email to change it. However, I carelessly made another wordpress account and used that desired email for this new account. Later, I deleted the new account. I understand that every wordpress account has only one email entitled to it, so is there any plausible solution to solve my problem? Please help thanks!

  Later, I deleted the new account.

  Hi there, account information persists for 30 days after deletion in case you want to reverse the deletion. So, it looks like that email address is currently locked.

  If it’s been less than 30 days since you deleted the account, you could reverse the deletion by replying to the email WordPressdotcom sent you and then, once that account is restored, change the email address on that account to something else. After you confirm the address change on that restored account, you should be able to use your desired email address on this account.

  Hope that was clear, but let us know if you need further help.
