# Vercel domain 404 error on new account after deleting previous projects

I previously had several custom domains connected to projects on my old Vercel account. Those projects have now been completely deleted.

## Problem
I am currently trying to use the same domains on a different Vercel account with new projects. The domains are verified successfully (blue checkmark), and the `DNS` records are correctly configured, but the domains keep showing a `404 NOT_FOUND` error.

## Current Behavior
It seems like these domains are still internally linked to the deleted projects from my old Vercel account (ghost domain mapping), even though those projects no longer exist.

I do not see any option to release or detach these domains from the old account, and there is no clear way to contact support directly from the dashboard.

Could someone from the Vercel team please help:

Error details:
404: NOT_FOUND
Code: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND
Request ID: bom1::vfrp6-1770704124527-bad7af667333

This appears to be a platform-level error where the domain is still referencing
a deleted deployment from a previous Vercel account.

Hi @aryanhp940-7832, welcome to the Vercel Community!

Could you share the domain in question and the production deployment URL (uniquely assigned by Vercel to each deployment) here so we can debug this together?
