I have an old account with an email I want to use for my current account

[Jhog19]

I had a previous Spotify account with my personal email. I then used my school email for a new student Spotify account for the last four years. I would like to switch my student Spotify account email to utilize my personal email, but it says the email I want to use is already taken.

Hey there, 

Thanks for reaching out.

In that case, the email address is still associated with a different account.

You can either change the email of that account to a different one or close the account and wait 14-30 days for your personal email address to become available again.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

It is now telling me that there is no email associated with my Google account that I am trying to use. I also have tried to use passwords that I would think associate with that email but no luck.

Hey @Jhog19,

Can you please try updating your account's email address to your Google email address here? 🙂

Let me know how it goes.

When I try to update my email, it tells me the email is taken, but I can't log in to my spotify with my gmail.

Hey @Jhog19,

Thanks for letting me know.

I recommend reaching out to Support so that they can take a closer look at this: https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/

I contacted support and they sent me an email to close the account, so I should be able to use the email I need to use in 14-30 days. Thank you!
