Cannot remove domain from old site

Can’t remove domain from old site — “Access Denied” + DNS zone tied to wrong team

I’m trying to move my domain supportdicf.org from an old site to a brand-new site under a different account, so I can separate two organizations that were sharing one Netlify account.

  • The domain was registered at Cloudflare, but its nameservers are delegated to Netlify’s own DNS.
  • When I try to add supportdicf.org to my new site, I get: supportdicf.org or one of its subdomains is already managed by Netlify DNS on another team.”
  • When I go to the old site and try to remove the domain there instead, I get an “Access Denied” error on the confirmation dialog.

I’m the owner of both the old and new accounts. How can I release this domain’s DNS zone from the old team so I can add it to the new one? Happy to provide site names/URLs if that helps.

  • We need to know your netlify site name. Example: gifted-antelope-58b104.netlify.app
  • DNS issues? Tell us the custom domain, tell us the error message! We can’t help if we don’t know your domain.
