Unable to update apple ID - email in use is mine on a deleted account
So this was retrospectively not the smartest thing to do, but here is where I am:
- I created an apple ID with a new email address, not realizing that I can update my existing one.
- I then realized this, and Deleted this new account.
- I went to try to use this email address on my existing account by updating my apple ID, but I keep getting errors saying that this email address is taken.
- I know for sure that this account has been deleted since I got confirmation of this from apple so the email is NOT in use anymore as an AppleID. Yet I am still unable to update this information.
Any ideas? Is there a waiting period before they release addresses again?
