Trying to recreate the deleted player and not getting the 'AccountDeleted' error

Hi,

I create a player and then I deleted with server code DeletePlayer. After that I tried to create again and I access the same player that I just deleted, with the same playerData info that I fill in the first time.

In deletePlayer site: https://api.playfab.com/documentation/server/method/DeletePlayer, it says:

Until the player data is fully deleted, attempts to recreate the player with the same user account in the same title will fail with the 'AccountDeleted' error.

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?

In API reference, error codes of RegisterPlayFabUser and LoginWithPlayFab don’t contain this error AccountDeleted(1322). So it’s normal to not get this error when calling these API. Error codes of DeletePlayer contain it. According to the actual situation, this sentence “Until the player data is fully deleted, attempts to recreate the player with the same user account in the same title will fail with the 'AccountDeleted' error.” doesn’t mean when you log in or register the deleted accounts again you will get AccountDeleted error, it should mean when you try to delete the accounts again you will get this error.

Besides, deleting players generally has a delay. “Player deletion is not an instant action. A player consists of many things: stats, inventory, vc, characters, etc, and customData for all of the above. It takes a while to clean it all up. When you hit the button, it merely starts that process. Players with more data can take longer, and we don't guarantee how quickly it will happen.” You can check this thread for more explains about it.
