  Hello, i would like to close my account to make a new wordpress website for academic needs but will the email be able to be used again? Or will the email be blocked and won’t be allowed to register as a new account in wordpress? Thank you in advance and i hope to hear from you soon.

  Hi there,
  I am sure once you delete all data from the account you can use the email again but you cannot reuse the username or site URLs.
  please read here for more information on cancelling accounts and alternatives to cancelling.

  Hi there,

  The email can be reused but only after 30 days since the account was closed. If you want to use the same address for another account, it’s best to change the old account’s email first.
