Hey Bayashi1031, sorry to hear about that!
Do you get any specific warnings when trying to log into the account?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Thanks for the reply! When I enter my email address to log in, it shows "Welcome back" and when I enter my password and hit enter, it shows "Invalid email or password"!

It sounds like you're trying to sign in, rather than register a new account. If you truly deleted your account, you'll need to create a new one before trying to sign in. Have you done that yet?
If you've already registered a new account and you're still unable to sign in, I'd suggest that you reset the password.
I am trying to register a new account, not sign in, but when I enter my old email address, it shows as sign in. When I enter my password, it says "Invalid email or password".

Hey Bayashi1031, can you try this link instead?
Also, are you certain the old account has been deleted? Did you receive an email confirmation about it?
I have received an email saying it has been deleted. Is there a rule that if I delete a team administrator's account, I have to wait 7 days before I can register again?

Were you the team admin in a Business plan Bayashi1031?
If that was the case, it'd show you a relevant error when trying to create an account.
I accidentally signed up for a free trial of Team Admin and when I tried to change it I deleted it. I would like to create an account with the same email address. If I wait, will it be possible to create it?

We'll do the best that we can, in order to help you as much as possible Bayashi1031.
I'd like to have a closer look into this, but in order to do so, I'd need some account-specific info. Would you mind if I was to create a ticket number, and reach out to you via email?
