Question

I entered my email address incorrectly, and now I can't access it or create a new one correctly.

I was creating my new Figma account with my institutional email, but I made a mistake when typing the email; I forgot to include a “.” at the beginning. For this reason, the confirmation message will never reach me, since it is an account that does not exist.

The problem starts when I try to create the account again, this time entering the email address correctly. It won't let me create it, and I suppose it's because the email address is almost identical. Therefore, I'm stuck in a loop. I need to create my account with that email address to do my university work, so I'd like to know if it's possible to delete the registration of that phantom email address… 

The ghost email to be deleted would be this one:

[redacted PII - DJV 8/12/26]

 

(The error in this email is that it is missing the . between the f and the s at the beginning)
