problem with workspace and organization conversion

I had a Workplace for many years, then I accidentally created an organization, and somehow everyone who was in Workplace with a work email ended up automatically in the organization. I wanted to convert my Workplace into an organization, and they told me that I already have an organization with that domain and that I need to delete it first. To delete it, I had to remove all the users from it. I removed them, but it turned out that they were also removed from Workplace. And all the tasks we were working on there were lost. This is just a disaster! Nobody warned me that if I removed someone from the organization, they would also be removed from Workplace, which wasn’t even connected to the organization at all.
