Description
So, accidentally deleted my device keys like the dumbass I am. After trying everything I decided to try deleting my count and get re-invited. I have a feeling data isn't being deleted from keybase's servers, as it said my original email was already used when sending another invite and my username is taken (but it's deleted and inaccessible). Any way I can get back to a fresh start with my username?

Research direction
The report names deleted device keys, account deletion, re-invitation, email reuse, and username availability, but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the account-deletion and invitation flows, then verify whether a deleted account can be recreated with the original email and username. Done means the intended fresh-start behavior is documented and consistently enforced.
