So I tried to update my email address on my account and it says I already have an account with that email. I tried to log into that account but it apparently had 2FA in place that I cannot recover. I don't care at all about any of the sync data that is in the account tied to that email, is there really no way to have the account deleted so I can reuse that email address?

Yeah we can't delete the email due to security reasons (we can't verify for 100% sure that you're you without violating some privacy things) so you'll have to use a new email/account :(
