Deleting the old one isn’t at all required, if that helps. You can use the same names on different instances because they’re known across servers as username@servername.

You could always just register somewhere else and keep that one as a backup
the admin can purge your account
For whatever reason, I couldn’t get deletion to work on sh.it.works either. Not sure if technical problem or by design.
i ran into a similar problem a few weeks ago when lemmy.ml went down for a while. I just gave up and moved to lemmy.world.
