  hi i tried to delete my site off another account because i wanted to make an account with this email instead. i wanted the same URL but i didnt realize it would be deleted forever when i get rid of it. i thought i’d delete it off that one so i could use it on this account. but now its dead :( since its an empty address and i was the one using it could i keep using it somehow?

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

  Hey princesspeaach,

  When you delete an account, it remains on the server for 30 days so that if you change your mind, the staff can reverse the account closure. It means the email address you have used is still in use.

  Mention the username of the account and tag staff to activate your account.

  Hi there,

  seashellley.wordpress.com was owned by a deleted account. Please reply back to the account closure email we have sent to you so we can help you restore both your site and your account.

  @fstat hi, i never got an account closure email because this account is still open. i just changed the URL of the site thinking it would free up the URL for my new account. can i still get the URL for my new account? my old site is now under sea5hell.wordpress.com

  A deleted site cannot be registered by a different account, no. A deleted address is permanently removed from our system, meaning no one can use that address again, ever.

  If you wanted a different account to use that address the correct option would have been to transfer the site to the other account.

  I have restored https://seashellley.wordpress.com/ to your fawnings account. If you want this site to be used by the princesspeaach account going forward, you can transfer it to that account as explained here:
