Release domain from deleted account - rotanaknita-weddinginvitation.site

Hello Netlify Support,

I am trying to add my domain rotanaknita-weddinginvitation.site to a new Netlify team, but I am receiving an error that it is already managed by Netlify DNS on another team.

The previous account/team associated with this domain has been deleted, so I cannot log in to remove the DNS zone myself.

To verify ownership, I have added a TXT record at my registrar (Hostinger) with the name verified-for-netlify

Please manual ly remove the old DNS zone so I can link the domain to my new account.

Thank you.

Hi @Chhunti. Since you’ve already added the TXT record to verify ownership, the best next step is to update your support request to Netlify with proof that the TXT record exists (for example, a screenshot or confirmation from your DNS provider). Once Netlify confirms the record, they can manually release the old DNS zone so you can link the domain to your new team. While waiting, you could use a temporary subdomain on your new site if you need it live immediately.

Hey @Chhunti :wave:,
