can the already deleted email will be used to update main email in bitbucket within 14 days

[Potter364]

There are two email (e1,e2) id's of mine with which i created BitBucket account but in one (e1) I uploaded projects but now i want to change the main email address with other email address (e2 with e1) which does not have project but deleted the account(with e2 id) though 14 days are not over yet . Now can i just replace the email account of e1 with e2 within 14 days of deletion of account with e2

Hello Himanshu and welcome to the Community!

So my understanding, you had/have 2 accounts. You’re wanting to consolidate down to just 1 account. You have already scheduled the deletion of one of those accounts but said account still is the owner of a repository. You’re wanting to make your other account owner of said repository.

The proper way to do this would be to reactivate your scheduled for deletion account, you can do this by following Cancel an account deletion. From there you need to transfer ownership of the repositories to your other account. You can do so by following Transfer repository ownership. Once you have transferred ownership, you can then delete the second account.

The above will allow you to keep your repositories by changing the owner then allow you to remove your second account.

I hope this proves helpful and allows you to decommission your other accounts.
