How do I change my Android phone to a new google account?

When I set up my Motorola Cliq, I linked my Motoblur to my Yahoo email that I use regularly. Anything on the phone that was associated to Google (calendar, YouTube, etc), I linked to a gMail account I rarely use. I would like to starting using gMail more regularly, but want to change to a username/email address that is the same as username of my Yahoo account. I deleted the old gMail account first, set up a new gMail account with the username I want, and then deleted my entire old Google account. My phone will not give me an option to enter a different Google username and just keeps saying my password is incorrect since there is no longer an active account under than username. There has to be a way, please help!
I was afraid a factory reset was the only option, so I've just been saving everything important to a folder on my computer, backing up all of my contacts & writing down a list of my apps. Hopefully, the reset will go smoothly.
