Paypal.me link deactivated - resuable?

Hello!
I have read the post about the paypal.me/linkchange functionality being not available at the moment on this post https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Products-and-Services/Change-PayPal-me-Url/m-p/1010207#M3096 (i couldn't find anything else)

As this is not possible I wonder, I recently created a new account which hopefully will be used for my self-employed endeavours so I have Account A, and Account B.
Account A was the only one with a Paypal.me functionality activated, sadly I used the same name I would like to use for Paypal.me/accountB. 

If I deactivate the usage of paypal.me on the accountA can I use the "same name" on accountB or is it saved in account a?

thank you

No, that won't work. Link name has to be unique in some way.

 

The PayPal.Me link I want is taken. What can I do?
PayPal.Me links can’t be reserved and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If your preferred link is taken, try some alternatives or pick one of our suggestions.
 
How many links can I have for PayPal.Me?
You may have only one active PayPal.Me link per PayPal account. Once you create your PayPal.Me link, you won’t be able to edit it. So choose carefully!
 

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
