I had an old username which I deleted. I wanted to reuse it one or two days later with my new accout, because I bought the Plex Pass with it. But it says that the username is already in use (“Wird Bereits Verwendet”).  
What can I do to change my deleted username for my new account?

thx

You cannot reuse a deleted username for 30 days. This is in case an account was deleted accidentally and needs to be restored.
