Hello! I am trying to add a domain that I own to a Netlify site, but I am getting an error that the domain has been used by another account. I have no idea who owns the other account and don’t have a way to reach them, it must have been a previous owner of the domain. I searched around and [found this post](https://answers.netlify.com/t/support-guide-another-site-is-using-this-domain-verifying-domain-ownership-for-netlify-production-domain/13765) telling me to start a topic here. I would love to go through the manual domain verification process to be able to put this domain live. My Netlify domain is: [phlote.netlify.app](https://phlote.netlify.app/) The domain I am trying to add is: [phlote.xyz](https://phlote.xyz/) Thanks! ---

hiya, Thank you for making the verification TXT record. Now that the verification is complete, please feel free to delete it at any time. The domain as been removed from the other account and it should be possible for you to add it now. However, if you still cannot or if there are any questions, please reply here to let us know.
