Hello,

I’ve created two accounts (for no reason) and I deleted the wrong one. Now I’m trying to change the email to the one I just deleted, on my active account, and it says it’s already in use.

All I want is to have my main email connected to my plex account but I either cannot sign up with that email or change to that email on my current account.

Apparently when you delete and account, you’re not deleting everything and you cannot retrieve or use that email anymore.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Regards,  
Ricardo
