Hello! I’m new to the business side of Pinterest, and I’ve run into a problem with my new account. I created a business account that was originally linked to my personal (I have since unlinked them) but every time I try to switch between my two accounts, I get a prompt to set up my profile (as pictured). I had already established my new account and I’m not sure why I keep getting this pop up, but this brings me to another issue. When I do fill out the prompt instead of spamming the back button, it comes up with the error “Account with linked business account can not be converted to a business account.” (Pictured) which I am not trying to do. This has somehow created THREE spare linked business accounts which I was not trying to make. When I try to delete those accounts, I never receive the confirmation email so they’re essentially stuck.. I am scared to log back into my business account in case it tries making more. Any help is appreciated, I already emailed support and he helped me delete one of them but I’m still having the same issue. (Update: I was told I’m getting the popup because I’ll need to make an “ad account” to promote my ads. I don’t wish to make any more accounts anymore but it’s forcing the popup every time.)
