want to switch email addresses

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi I wanted the switch the account to my other email (email visible only to moderators and staff), it says the account already exists which is because I accidentally created account when I was trying to log into this one. I have already deleted the account for that email and was trying to add it to this one is there a way I can fix this? Or can you guys fix this for me?

    Hi,

    Deleting an account doesn’t immediately free an email address for use on another account. There’s a 30 day window in which an account may be restored, so the email address remains attached to a closed account for that 30 day period. However, someone has called for staff attention and they may be able to assist you in accomplishing your goal.

  • @sincerelytiffanyxo, please reply to the email you received after you’ve closed your account and ask for it bo restored.
    Once it is, change the email on that account to a disposable one and only then close the account again.

    That will free the correct address and you’ll be able to change it as explained here:
