Email already in use

I'm trying to add my email to my lichess account and I'm running into an issue where it already in use.

Dredging through my email, I have another account 5 years ago that I used to create a study for a specific tournament where my lichess handle was known. It's played no games, has no rating, and contains one study. (This is, as far as I understand, allowed under the TOS)

I would rather have gone through contact page, but this doesn't come up under any of the stock questions there. I'm happy to just close the account and only use this one, which I actually play games on, but my understand is that still won't free up the email.

Any advice?
Thanks so much guys, glad I posted here before deleting the account, that could have been bad.
