User email taken

hey,

I have deleted my Gitlab account permanentlyjust now. Tried to sign up for a new user account. Got error that the email is already taken. does this mean that I cannot create a different account with the same email, even after deleting thte initial account?

Thanks

Hi,
I have a very similar problem, I realized I had duplicated accounts, I deleted the one using my personal email (which was empty) in order to keep the one with my professional email (which had some activity) but when I try to add my personal email back to the “professional” account I’m blocked by " Email has already been taken".
May I ask you how whether you solved your problem and how?
