Trying to transfer domains from one netlify account to another but netlify still says “Another site is already using this domain”

I am trying to transfer the domain www.ocaaatl.com from one Netlify account to another but I’m getting the error message:

" ocaaatl.com or one of its subdomains is already managed by Netlify DNS on another team."

I have access to the original account under Netlify App and I have deleted all domain registrations. I have the domain registered to my account on TMD Hosting and I have deleted the DNS records there as well (switched them back to ns1.tmd.cloud and ns2.tmd.cloud).

I don’t know how to add a TXT record on TMD, I don’t even think that’s an option.

I am trying to point the domain to: https://nimble-pithivier-32c02e.netlify.app/

Please help!

If is it still showing the message below, either the domain is attached to a site, or is listed in Netlify DNS.

I don’t see where any DNS records would be in the old site now that I have deleted the domains. Any idea where to look?

You would see them on the team’s Domain page if anywhere

Ah, got it. I had to go to the main page for the original account, go to Domains and then remove those records. That was what you were saying up above I believe. Once those DNS records were removed I could add the domain to my new account and then assign it to the appropriate project. Hope this helps someone with a similar issue.
