I want to delete this Atlassian account permanently right now rather than waiting for 14 days

I want to delete this Atlassian account permanently right now rather than waiting for 14 days. Because I have to link this email ID with another Atlassian account.

Thanks

Hi @Nazakat Ali and welcome to the community!

If you would like to reuse the email for a different account, then I believe the fastest option would be to do the following:

1. Log in to the account to cancel its deletion.
   
   
2. Then change its email address to a different email address you own.
   
   If you do that, the email address of your current account will become immediately available and you'll be able to use it in a different Atlassian account.
   
   The process is described in the following community article:
   
   https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Account-articles/How-to-change-your-Atlassian-account-email-address/ba-p/1942026
   
   
3. Then, you can initiate the deletion of your current account again if you no longer need it.

I cannot delete the Atlassian account for you; this might be something that the GDPR team can expedite, but please keep in mind it may still take a few days for the GDPR team to get to your request considering the weekend. So, the workaround I mentioned above would be the fastest option to make the email address of your current account available again. If you'd still like to create a request with the GDPR team, you can do so via this link:

In "What can we help you with?" select "Personal data and GDPR".

Kind regards,

This is the standard procedure that Atlassian goes through when accounts are being deleted. If this is an urgent case, you can try reaching Atlassian support to accelerate this process.
