I want to change my AppleID email (let's say, email1) to another email of mine (email2). There used to be an AppleID associated with email2, but I deleted that AppleID. It's been two months since it was deleted, but when I try to change my AppleID's email from email1 to email2, I get the error:
This email address is not available. Choose a different address.
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.
