Troubles Syncing Free Anki Web to Mobile Account

Hi everyone! I was hoping someone may be able to help me out with my current issue.

I have had a free Anki web account with no email attached for the last few months. However, I just decided to purchase Anki mobile hoping I can sync the two together.

The issue I am running into is merging the information from my Anki web application to the mobile app. I have tried syncing it with the same email but canceled once I received a notification about things being deleted.

Is there a way to get both services to be the same or do I just have to start from scratch on my Anki mobile? As a worst case, I was thinking of sharing my current decks from my Anki web application to then download onto my Anki mobile. Only issue there is, I don’t think I can share any decks without an email being attached.

Thanks in advance for the help!
