How Do I Add a Deleted Google Account?

Published in Google Accounts 2 mins read

You can't directly "add" a deleted Google Account. Once you delete a Google Account, it's permanently removed from Google's servers.

However, you may be able to recover your account if you acted within the recovery window:

  • Recovery Window: Google provides a period of time after deletion to recover your account. This window is typically 30 days, but it can vary depending on the account's age and usage.
  • Recovery Process: If you acted within the recovery window, you can attempt to recover your account by following these steps:
    • Go to the Google Account Recovery page.
    • Enter the email address associated with your deleted account.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your identity.
    • Google may ask you to provide additional information, such as your phone number, recovery email, or last password you remember.

Important Note: If you've been locked out of your Google Account for a long time or have forgotten your recovery information, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to recover it.

Alternatives:

If you can't recover your deleted account, you can create a new one. This will allow you to access Google services again but will not restore your old account data.
