I created a Pretendo Network ID using my username on the website, linked to my user on the Wii U and it was fine. But then I noticed the region was wrong, so I decided to follow the advice and delete the Pretendo ID through the console and recreate it there so I can have it properly set up. I'm trying to recreate it now on the Wii U itself and it's saying it already exists. I tried logging in on the website and it says that the user does not exist.

If it helps, I got this empty email with the subject saying it got deleted

that's the issue
@worn jacinth even if you delete the PNID, it will never be able to be reselected
also, it wasn't really necessary to delete the account for the sole purpose of changing region
if I'm not mistaken (don't quote me), in the future you'll be able to update account info on the website
for now, you can use a modded Wii U to change region

What advice????
We never advice anyone to delete a PNID just to change settings
Anyway that username is lost forever
worn jacinth
Oh okay, thanks for the help!

And you have a Wii U, when modded it could have allowed you to change your stuff

What advice????
It was this, when I changed it, it was linked on the error message https://pretendo.network/docs/error/727-0001

I don't think it prompted me twice, I don't remember the exact warning but it said something about "Changing region may cause unexpected issues/results", gave me that link and I followed what it said there

Anyway I consider this a report
Sorry for what happened
First time I see this page
worn jacinth
Yes it was that
rocky forge
that might be what they mean
Can you try making the first steps and see what happens
just to confirm
I dont know a lot about the Wii U
worn jacinth
What do you mean? Readding the user?
rocky forge
What do you mean? Readding the user?
Wait
i re-read it
Did you attempt to delete the user or the PNID
worn jacinth
I deleted both
But I probably read it wrong and it was just to delete the user on the console, create another one and re-link the PNID
rocky forge
Yeah, my bad, I'll just create another one with a different name
Before you go
Did you actually do these steps and nothing else?
Just to know if it's a bug or just your mistake

I clicked on the "Also Delete ID" at the top in the second to last screen, so it was my mistake
