Today we will learn how to recover a deleted Google account. A Google account is required to use an Android phone. It contains most of my information, including my cell phone number and message history. However, since you can create multiple accounts, there are times when you accidentally delete them when organizing them. In this case, you can easily recover your Google account data using the method below.
Since you generally use your Google account on your cell phone, I will explain based on Android smartphones. In the case of PC, I think you can proceed in a similar vein. So, can I restore my Google account at any time? If you look at Google’s guidelines, there is an expiration date for recovery.
How to restore deleted Google account recovery
It is said that once you delete your account from Google, it takes two months to completely delete it. So, in case it is accidentally deleted, it is valid for up to one month. Those who withdraw within 1 month can immediately restore their account. However, if it is older than 1 month, you will need to restore it using a slightly more complicated method. I will explain in detail below.
Now let’s learn how to recover a deleted Google account below.
