I created a new Gmail account for my daughter while logged on as myself (account was created using non-Gmail address). While I was doing it, it asked if I want to be able to manage this email using existing account. I clicked yes.

And now I have an account, where main email is my daughter's and I can't change it because it's Gmail and as such it is non-removable.

I can pass my account to her completely, but I can't create new account using my email, because it already exists. I can remove it, but I still won't be able to, because it seems that removed account is not really removed.

I'm pretty sure nothing said I'm setting up new email for my account - I was creating new Gmail address.

Of course there's no way to contact Google to straighten it out, even if it's TARFUN moment, not covered by their help center. Is there a way out of this cluster...situation?

Suggestions appreciated.
