  I deleted another wordpress account of mine and now I am unable to use the same email address to create the wordpress account, it doesn’t even let me in with the old password
  tried all the methods nothing works, and there isn’t a damn way of getting the account back.

  Perhaps Staff is able to restore your account, https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/#account-restoration

  Hi there,

  When you close your account, the email associated with the closure becomes unavailable for 30 days until the account is purged. So, you won’t have access to that email until after the 30 day period is over. It would be quicker to reopen your account, change the email out, and regain access to the email, and then re-close the account.

  Close Your Account

  If you want to reopen your account to retrieve your email, please confirm with the name of the deleted, and I will need to contact that email to verify ownership.

  Thanks,
