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?!
iPhone 8, iOS 14
From the 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.

Sounds like email address is my Apple ID key and cannot be changed. That's not a very good database design. I'm disappointed. Bush league. So I have to create another email address just to get away from my current failing address.
