I'd like to change my Apple ID, but when I enter the email I want to change it to, it says that email is not available. How can I get it to be available?
I used to have an Apple ID on the new email, but I deleted it over a month ago.
You can’t reuse the email address from a deleted Apple ID. From the Apple Support Support article below:
Can I use the primary email address for my deleted Apple ID account to create a new Apple ID or with another existing Apple ID account?
No, once your Apple ID is deleted, you can't use the email address that you used with it to create a new Apple ID. In addition, you can't use that email address with another existing Apple ID except as a rescue email. Also, if your primary Apple ID email address is with a Custom Email Domain, it can never be reused to create an Apple ID after your Apple ID is deleted, even if the domain ownership changes.
