I am unable to use the Windows Store on my Windows 8 PC because the store is insisting on using the old Live account - I can't use another Live ID and at the same time can't sign in to the deleted account. For more information, see below.
Is there any way to un-delete the Live account or permanently delete it so I can add the email address as an alias on another Live account?
Explanation of my problem from cross post:

How to forget/remove username in Windows 8 Store - account deleted
I deleted a Windows Live/Microsoft account (I have others) that I was using for the Windows Store on one of my PCs. Now I can't use the store at all because it wants a password for that particular account - there is no sign out option nor is there a "change
username" option that I can see. When I click the "Sign in" button, the store insists on using the deleted account.
How do I get the store to delete it?
Steps taken so far:
* Removing the Live account from the local Credential Manager
* Removing mention of this account in the IdentityCRL registry folder
* Resetting the store cache using wsreset
Thank you for your help, folks.
