Unable to change Apple ID email

I would like to change my Apple ID email from @yahoo.com to @gmail.com.

The @gmail.com email was previously tag to another Apple ID account, but I have deleted this account 2 - 3 months back.


However, when I want to change my current Apple ID email, it still states that the @gmail account is not available.

Apple ID Error:

This email address is not available. Choose a different address.

Is it not possible to change the Apple ID email even if the other account was deleted months ago?

If you went thru the steps to permanently delete an Apple ID that email cannot be used for an Apple ID again.
