Inappropriate?i deleted my account to get rid of all my spam followers. now i want to reopen it with the same username but it says that my username is taken. that is not true, i type in the url and it says the account does not exist. for some reason twitter is keeping old usernames in their databases which makes no logical sense. completely ridiculous
I’m angry

Inappropriate?On Twitter's help section they say that when you delete an account it may still appear for a couple of days in search, etc.
So my guess is that it takes a couple of days for a username to free up, even though you can't see it's timeline... So I suggest trying a gain in 3-5 days...
(Note that this is just a guess... I've been waiting for 4 days for username I deleted to be available again, and hope it will...)
