Account deleted - Still says 'we're sorry that account is taken'

[petergeorgerice]

I used a 'Premium for Family' invitation to set up a seperate account for my work.

It gave me a random username which I wasn't happy with so I then deleted the account (with associated work email address) in order to 'clear' that email address and so I could to repeate the invitation/sign up process and set a suitable Username this time (this is important for the work account).

However when trying to sign up again I get the prompt 'We're sorry, that email is taken' even though the account attachted to that address has now been deleted.

This is frustrating as I now seemingly can't set up an account for the work email account even though this is 'de-registered' from Spotify.

Any help how to 'clear' that email address from the Spotify servers, so I can set this up again would be appreciated

Thanks
