Error with unlinking my old (deleted) twitch account
As the title says, It will not let me unlink my old defunct twitch account so i can link my new one that i currently use. The Error states "AUTHENTICATION ERROR: Unlinking has failed because you signed into a different external account than the one you have linked. We cannot unlink your external account unless you sign into the correct account." I cant log into the old account due to it not exisiting. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, You will need to log into your old Twitch account if you would like to unlink it and link to a new Twitch account. If your account has been deleted, we are unable to assist you, and you will need to contact [url=https://help.twitch.tv/]Twitch Support[/url] for assistance.
