When you delete an email account, your messages typically don't disappear right away. Instead, most service providers wait a certain amount of time before honoring the mailbox deletion request. They do this to give users some time to change their mind and stop the deletion process before it's too late.

If you deleted your Google Account recently, it may still be recoverable. If you can successfully complete account recovery, you'll be able to sign in as usual and access your account data. To get started, head to g.co/recover and enter your Gmail address. Important: Not all deleted accounts can be recovered.
