Hi Kierra, I understand you're having trouble updating your email because it's still linked to a deleted account. You may want to recover your Jotform account. You can find more information via the button below. Recover Your Jotform Account

Hi Kierra,
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The Jotform account linked to the email address you used to reach us was deleted successfully. But it will take 30 days before the Jotform account is permanently purged from our system. As a workaround, you'll need to replace the email address of the deleted Jotform account to free it up.
Once the email address is freed up, you can use it to change another Jotform account's email address. To change your email account, It's easy to set up. Let's do it:
1. On your My Workspace page, click your Profile Picture in the top-right corner.
2. In the dropdown menu, click on Settings to open your Account Page in a new tab.
3. On the left of the page, click on Account, to update general information.
4. Hover down and click Edit next to your current email address.
5. Enter your new email address and click Save.
6. If Require Verification to Change Email is enabled in your Privacy Settings, you’ll first receive an authentication code at your current email, write this code that is sent to your email to proceed. And click on Verify below the code to continue.
After that, Jotform will send a verification email to your new email address. Click Verify Now in that email to confirm the change. Once verified, you’ll see a confirmation message, and a separate email will also be sent to your old address notifying you that the account email has been updated. We also have a guide about how to change your account's email address that you can check out.
I've reactivated the deleted Jotform account. You can now continue following the steps shown above.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
