Why can I login to a deleted account?

Question

When you go to login there is this annoying feature that pops up in the top right hand corner asking if you want to login with google :-(

I made the mistake of clicking on this and it created a new account. I added my comment before realising it was a new account. I then edited the commend to say "delete this comment" and I deleted the account.

Then when I go back to login it automatically logins me into the deleted account and I can;t find a a way to login to my own account on my default browser. I am using another browser for this.

So I have the following comments with the annoying I'm New here:

How is it possible to login to a deleted account?
