Cannot re-register ovi account

Question

Ok so here's my situation, I had an ovi account opened some time back. I then set a different user name for the account. On doing this, for some reason another account was created with all my duplicated details except the user name. So I had two accounts with the same details (email add, name, add, phone number etc) but different user names. 
I used to use the second account with the new user name to upload/share my phone data. Now when the ovi store opened, I could only use the 1st account that was created. I didn't like this because my other user name had all my data which I had been backing up since I opened an ovi account. So I decided to delete both accounts so as to start fresh with only one user name. Now when I tried registering seconds later, it could not accept either user names (Sorry, that name isn't available. Try one of these, or enter a new one.)
 How long does it take the system to update? and why can't I use any of my previous user names? I really need to use one of them because I tend to 4get user names so i have two standard ones for all kinds of accounts on so many forums and stuff. thanx
