‘Domain in use’ error
I have seen this posted numerous times so it seems to be a common issue many users face. This is what has happened to me so far!
- When creating a workspace account I made the mistake of upgrading my personal Gmail rather than creating a new account so it then merged the inboxes.
- I deleted the subscription I had and can confirm this because I no longer have access to the admin console.
- when attempting to create a new account with the domain it gives me the error that the domain is in use.
- I have followed the recovery steps and have been sent an email confirming that the domain has been freed and is available for use after I verified that I owned it via a DNS record.
-it is still showing domain in use and it has been nearly a week and a half since deleting the subscription and 4 days since receiving the email saying it has been freed.
-when trying the recovery form again it just says that a takeover is in progress and I can’t go any further
Can someone please help me with this! I have read another comment saying I can buy a new domain and register with that before bringing over the previous one but would rather not do that.
