How can I invite back a team member I deleted?

Hi Community, I am the admin and I accidentally deleted a staff members account, as an example, lets say I deleted "steven@company.com". We have a company dropbox. I would like to add Steven back with his company email: "steven@company.com". If this account was deleted does that mean I can never invite a team member this this email again and that I longer have access to that email? It does not appear to be letting me re-add "steven@compay.com". Please advise!!

    No, but I believe it prevents any new accounts with that email address for seven days, which is the period during which you can still restore a deleted member's account. I would try that path first, before starting with a new account for that user.
