Recovering a Deleted Yahoo Account

0:00 - 0:05

This video covers the basics of recovering a deleted Yahoo account.
0:05 - 0:10

There are a couple of situations where it may be possible to reactivate a deleted Yahoo account.
0:10 - 0:14

One case is if you asked Yahoo to delete your account within the last 90 days.
0:15 - 0:19

Another is if a third party deleted your account without your knowledge.
0:19 - 0:24

You cannot recover an account that Yahoo closed because you didn't use it for more than 12 months.
0:24 - 0:29

You also can't recover an account that we closed due to a violation of our Terms of Service.
0:30 - 0:35

To begin reactivating your account, click Sign In on any Yahoo page, such as the Yahoo Home page.
0:36 - 0:40

Enter the Yahoo ID and password for the deactivated account.
0:40 - 0:43

Click Sign In, then click Reactivate
0:43 - 0:47

It can take up to 24 hours for your account to be fully reactivated.
0:48 - 0:51

Some of your old data may no longer be available.
0:51 - 0:57

If you initiated the deletion of your account, we may be able to restore email that was in the account before you closed it,
0:57 - 0:59

but with no guarantees.
0:59 - 1:04

Email that people sent to your Yahoo account after it was deleted won't be there.
1:04 - 1:07

Those messages will have bounced back to their senders.
1:08 - 1:14

If you have more questions about recovering a deleted account, please check our help site or contact Yahoo customer care.

Thank You
