cannot re-signup a member after deleting to correct her username

[JackieES]

User (free membership level) registered but mistyped the username she wanted.

Since she (or I) cannot revise a username once set, I offered to delete the incorrect registration and re-register her with the correct username she wanted, same email address (she only has one), same password, same first name.

I am getting

Email:The email address you are using is already taken!

Please choose a different email address. .

This person/email address is not in the WP users (I am the only one), nor has she ever been (I had checked there before I deleted from eMember).

Where the heck is the system remembering this email address and what can do to get this to work?

I re-started my Mac this morning and cleared my cache. I think that the original delete did not go entirely through, because although the member was not showing up last night, the member was there after I cleared cache and signed back in. So we are good to go now. Whew!
