  I believe I some how set up 2 accounts and linked the wrong email address to the one I am using. When I go to account settings to try to change my email to (email visible only to moderators and staff) it says that email is already in use. I am just not sure how to delete the account that I placed that email with. Thank you very much for any help.

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

  Hi there,

  What you will need to do is log into the account that is connected to that email you want to use and replace the email with either a dummy email or some other email you do not need. That will free up the email to be used to your liking.

  Assuming you do not know the password – since you still have access to the email connected to the account, you can enter that email address in the password recovery tool. Please check your spam folder for the recovery email if you don’t receive it in your inbox immediately:
