You deleted your account.
You saw the confirmation screen.
So you signed up again.
But something felt wrong.
Your email was “already in use.”
Your old data reappeared.
Or worse — two accounts now existed.
This happens when deletion isn’t fully completed.
Why Deleted Accounts Still Exist
- Account deletion may enter a grace period
- Data retention policies delay full removal
- Billing records remain for legal reasons
- Email identifiers stay locked in the system
Many platforms don’t erase accounts instantly.
Common Signs of Incomplete Deletion
- Email already registered error
- Old subscriptions re-linked
- Previous data partially restored
- Login works on the “deleted” account
This means the original account still exists in backend records.
What Happens When You Re-Sign Up
- A duplicate account may be created
- Billing history can split
- Subscriptions may attach incorrectly
- Support must manually merge accounts
Re-registration before full deletion often creates system conflicts.
How to Fix the Issue
- Contact support to confirm deletion status
- Request permanent account purge if needed
- Avoid creating multiple new accounts
- Wait for deletion confirmation email
Never recreate accounts until deletion is finalized.
This prevents duplicate billing and data conflicts.
