I can’t edit my website, when I try to edit, I see the page with the message:
You need a higher level of permission.
Sorry, you are not allowed to customize this site.
It was started when I create a new super admin user and delete an old user with ID_1 (which was created when WordPress is installed). Now I have a super admin user but can’t edit the website.
I tried deactivating all plugins, but it does not help.
How to fix it?

Try to give yourself admin rights programmatically by placing this snippet in your functions.php
.
add_action('init', function(){
// use your user id
$user = get_user_by( 'id', $yourUserId);
// Give yourself the admin role
$user->add_role( 'administrator' );
});
