I have a plex account… with an old email address… trying to change the email/login to current email address… it says the new email address is already taken… I believe that I logged in through google, which set up another account under the new current email address…now plex will not let me change my old account to current… I deleted the “new” account… yet plex still says that this accoint is taken… I cannot get into my current email /plex account… only the old… and I cannot change the old email address to the current ---

After deleting an account, you will have to wait 31 days until the associated email address is “released”. So wait 31 days, then try again to change the email. And **don’t** login using your google account in the meantime. ---
