Account recovery or deletion

Fabio Gianni Murtas

I accidentally created a second account by logging in with my Google account. To delete the new account, I must have accidentally deleted Jira in the main billing account. Now I have nothing left in billing. I see the Jira app in the main account with an exclamation point and I can't recover anything. I can't even delete the account permanently. In short, I can't do anything anymore and I find myself stuck. Furthermore, having a free plan, I can't even open a ticket to solve the problem.

Where exactly are you seeing Jira with an exclamation point? Are you seeing that in https://admin.atlassian.com under Apps > Atlassian Apps?

When you go to https://admin.atlassian.com/billing and select Subscriptions, can you click on the Inactive tab and see Jira listed there with a recent Canceled On date and a Reactivate button?

@Fabio Gianni Murtas that sounds really frustrating, but don’t worry this kind of situation can happen with Jira when multiple accounts get mixed up.

From what you’re describing, it seems like the Jira site wasn’t fully deleted but rather deactivated or left in an incomplete state, which is why you’re seeing that exclamation mark. First thing I’d try is logging in with both accounts (Google and email/password) and checking if the site appears under either one.

Even on a free plan, you can still raise a request through Atlassian’s support portal (billing/account issues are usually covered), so it’s worth trying that route—they can help restore access or clean up the account state.

You’re not stuck permanently here, it just needs support intervention to fix the account linkage 👍

Sorry but I'm in Italy and the language is in Italian, however, I would like to use only the Murtas Fabio account and not the one I renamed "unused" for now I can't fix things or even delete the apps of the "unused" one.. I'll also try writing to support.. Thanks for your help in the moment. I await other suggestions.

I went to the page https://www.atlassian.com/it/company/contact/purchasing-licensing#/ but it doesn't let me send or open any tickets... so I don't know if the uploaded files and texts are sent correctly. And I only received self-service responses, and not even the AI was able to respond to me.
