"Telegram already in use" error when recreating account after deleting the linked account #492

Description

@TheOnlyBibi

Describe the bug

When I delete a Jellyfin account (via jfa-go) that has a Telegram account linked to it, the Telegram link isn’t fully cleared. If the same user then tries to create a new account and link the same Telegram account, jfa-go rejects it with “Telegram already in use” — even though the original account no longer exists.

To Reproduce

  1. Create an account and link a Telegram account to it.
  2. Delete the account from jfa-go (not just disable it).
  3. Have the same user try to create a new account and link the same Telegram account during/after signup.

Expected behavior

Deleting an account should also remove any associated Telegram (and likely Discord/Matrix) link, so the same Telegram account can be linked to a new Jellyfin account afterward.

Platform/Version

Platform : Linux - Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS
Deployment : apt
Version : 0.6.0

PS: The Telegram link button don't work after an error, need to reload the page to use it again.
