  I have three WP accounts, each attached to a different email address. I want to wipe the content out and just start over, so I deleted two of the three accounts (using teh third to send this support request). Now the system will not let me reuse the email addresses of the deleted accounts, saying they are already already in use. But I deleted the accounts. Are the email address locked anyway? What do I have to do to get this to work? Please advise. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  The email address associated with your deleted accounts will be available for use on another account when those accounts will be completely purged in 30 days.

  If you don’t want to wait that long, you can email us at help@wordpress.com from the email address associated with the deleted account so that we restore your account, change its email address with a throwaway one, and subsequently free up that address for use with your current account.
