Unauthorizing an Adobe Digital Edition and Re-authorizing it

Question

I have changed my email and it is current in Adobe.  However, when I uninstall and reinstall Adobe Digital Edition, it continues to authorize my computer to the old email.  I have attempted to erase authorization of the old email, but it tells me "Unable to erase authorization.  Please try after some time"  What does that mean?  It does me no good!!  What can I do so I can use Adobe Digital Edition?
