  I had an old wordpress account that I set up using my personal email. I do not use that site anymore and decided to delete it to free up that email so I could put it on my new website but it still says it is being used. I would like to use this email on my contact form to make sure I am getting emails. Please help

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

  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account. You can create one gravatar for every username account that applies to all blogs registered under the same username account and email address.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/

  There is a single email address that can be used on only one wordpress.COM username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account.

  The wordpress.COM blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account at any time.
