Cannot change Apple ID Email

System won’t allow me to delete or alter a defunct email before adding a new one, and it says my new one isn’t valid when I try to enter it in “new email” box. Catch 22.....Can anyone help please?

Trying to add a new email to my Apple ID... But it says it's not available! Hi there everyone, I've deleted an old Apple ID that I used to have, it's been over 6 months now. When I try to log in with it, Apple says it doesn't exist. All good, it seems to be gone. So I've now tried to add it to my other Apple ID account. And it keeps saying that this email address is not available. How can I get this solved?!
