Deletion is permanent and the associated email address cannot be used to create a new Cloudflare account.
What is the issue you’re encountering
Unsure of whether I can re-use email
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
My active email address has changed, so I set up a user on my main account with the new email. I’m going to lose access to the main account email in a month, so I wanted to change the email on that account to the new one. But I can’t because the user exists.
When I go to delete the additional user it says I can’t use the email to create a new account. So the question is, can I use the deleted email address as a replacement address on an existing account?
If the email address / account was deleted you’ll need to wait a year to reuse the email address. You can add a domain using another email address. Cloudflare will purge your personal information within a year of a deletion request unless required to retain it for legal obligations (such as ongoing abuse investigations or pending litigation). Refer to the Cloudflare Data Processing AddendumOpen external link for further information about the deletion of personal information following the cancellation of your account.
I’m not asking if I can use the deprecated email to open a new account, I’m asking if I can change the email address on an existing account to the deprecated email address.
