Hey there VYV - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

Have you tried logging into that account perhaps?
Let us know more information and we'll take it from there.

I have 3 acounts because i created by by mistake a 3rd one and transfer all my files there. I would like to delete this 3rd account but before transfer all my files back to old one.

Hey VYV, thanks for the update here.
There's no automatic way to transfer files from one account to the other.
You can either share the files in the 3rd account with the preferred one, or download them from the 3rd account and then upload them to the preferred one.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have more questions.
