when trying to change email on account, I get a message that the "new" email is already in use

I am trying to change the main email that my account is registered under, as it is under a previous employee's email address. I want to change it to my email. 

 

Whenever I share documents, they appear as if they are coming from the prior employee's email.  I have changed my profile name, so that it has my actual name, but I haven't been able to change the account email address successfully. 

 

I have removed my email as the secondary email on the account.  I have also deleted an unused Adobe account registered under my email.  But when I try to change the active account's email to my address, it tells me 'email already used'.  

 

I tried logging in to Adobe using my email, and got a notice that my account had been deleted, which is as it should be.  So, why can't I set my email address as the primary one on the active account?  

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

You can't reuse an deleted account right away. Some people report that in a few months you can. Really, you needed to get Adobe to sort this out for you, or your local admin if it is an enterprise account.

(Note to readers: the regular retail licenses for Acrobat CANNOT be reassigned to a new person, it is a breach of the license. Yes, even if the company pays and the member of staff leaves; they get to keep the subscription as a gift from the company, who cannot cancel the account or payment. Other possibilities exist for team and enterprise account.)
