Recover a recently deleted Google Account (original) (raw)

Your account may still be recoverable if you change your mind after you delete your Google Account. Successful recovery of your recently deleted Google Account restores your access to your account and its data. If the account was deleted a while ago, you may not be able to recover it.

1. Follow the steps to recover your account.
   • You'll be asked some questions to confirm it's your account. Answer as best you can.
   • If you're having trouble, try the tips to complete account recovery steps.
2. If your account is recovered, create a password that you haven't already used with this account. Learn how to create a strong password.

If you can't recover your account, consider creating a replacement Google Account. When you do, you can follow these steps to avoid getting locked out of your Google Account.

Note: An inactive Google Account is an account that has not been used within a 2-year period. Google reserves the right to delete an inactive Google Account and its activity and data if you are inactive across Google for at least two years. Learn more about the Inactive Google Account Policy.
