Cannot create email again after deleteing the user and email address

Hi,

I've deleted a user hello@peterjohnlightfoot.com and I'm trying to re-use the address as an alias on admin@peterjohnlightfoot.com ... but it fails with the message that says "email id already exists".

Is there a way to completely remove the old user, so that the address can be re-used?

Thanks
