Hi,

I had an old account back from the 2000's which I had a hard time remembering what e-mail address I used. So I just created a new account with the same name but a different address, but I happen to remember my e-mail/password for my old account!

I have now two accounts with the same name:
- a new one created five minutes ago with my current e-mail address
- an old one with all my data and an old e-mail address I don't use anymore.

I want to delete the newest account and change the e-mail in the old account to my current e-mail (which is used in the newest account!). Is it possible?



[edit] Nevermind that, I just found that I can change even my account name. I just switched things here and there, and now we have a useless account no one will use.

What was it that you changed and did the change work? I just did the same thing. I made the new account and after that my computer let me know that I had a previous account.

log in to your new account and Click on 'Account'. Scan down the 'account page' until you find the line:
"Change email address | password | other account info "

Use 'email address' to change the email of the new account to a garbage address
Use 'Other account info' to remane your new account

Then log in to you old account, and change the email address to your current one.

I also have an old account for 2007 and I can see the profile but I had to create a new account to get started again. I knew my old email address but it is not recognized now. Anyone know how to combine those accounts?

Combining or merging accounts isn't possible. You have to choose one of them to continue with.
