Create new Apple ID account using deleted Apple ID's email

Hi, I deleted an Apple ID few months ago, and now I would like to create a new Apple ID using the same email address, but when I filled in the form the page gave this error " This email address is not available. Choose a different address." But if I tried to use forgot password or login with the same email it is said that the account doesn't exist. So how do I reuse that email address? Thanks

Hi,


You are ineligible to use the deleted Apple ID due to the fact that it has been deleted.


Once the deletion request is completed, everything associated to that Apple ID has been deleted in the system, including the ability for it to be used again as an active account. This is expected behavior.

Hope that helps!
