I accidentally deleted my account and can't register again.
I accidentally deleted my account and cannot register again. I really want to use the same e-mail address.

Thanks for the reply! When I enter my email address to log in, it shows "Welcome back" and when I enter my password and hit enter, it shows "Invalid email or password"!

It sounds like you're trying to sign in, rather than register a new account. If you truly deleted your account, you'll need to create a new one before trying to sign in. Have you done that yet?
If you've already registered a new account and you're still unable to sign in, I'd suggest that you reset the password.

I am trying to register a new account, not sign in, but when I enter my old email address, it shows as sign in. When I enter my password, it says "Invalid email or password".

Hey Bayashi1031, can you try this link instead?
Also, are you certain the old account has been deleted? Did you receive an email confirmation about it?

I have received an email saying it has been deleted. Is there a rule that if I delete a team administrator's account, I have to wait 7 days before I can register again?
