Update my email error
-
Hi,
I’m trying to update my e-mail address and get an error:
ERROR: That e-mail address is already being used.
ERROR: The email address is already used.Maybe the email I’m updating to is associated with another blog which I can’t remember now? Is there a way to veryfi it or maybe someone from support can look into it? Sure I can use another email, but I would like to bind my account to my primary email.
Best regards,
hadrysThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. I’d suggest you enter your email in the lost password form. You should then receive an email with the login details for that account. After logging in, you can then change that email to something else in order to free up your email address for this account. See here for password reset options: http://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#password-reset-process
More info on changing your email address here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/#issues-changing-your-email-address
Let us know if that doesn’t work.

I’m glad it worked.
Keep in mind that you cannot delete your old wordpress.com username account. This is for security reasons so others cannot claim your username and impersonate you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/ But if you’re no longer going to use it you can remove all personal information you added and effectively deactivate your account so no one will be able to access it. See timethief’s instructions in this thread on how to do that: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-276?replies=2
If you still have an active blog in that account, it is also possible to transfer it to your new account: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account
Of course, if you’re happy having the two accounts you can just ignore everything I said here :)

Wow,
thank you for your effort. First I was thinking about merging my accounts, but I’m going to leave them for some time until I’ve got some new ideas. The important part is that now I’m in control of both of them :)
