Having Trouble Restoring Your Discord Account?
If you are having issues restoring your Discord account, there are a few things to remember:
- If you initiated the deletion of your Discord account, the account is in a “pending deletion” state for 15 days. Once that period of time has passed, the Discord account has been deleted from our system and cannot be restored.
- If you try to log into your account that you initiated for deletion, the 15 day period has passed, and the Discord app does not dictate that your account is pending deletion, your account has already been deleted from our system and cannot be restored.
- If you are trying to restore the Discord account you initiated for deletion but cannot remember your account’s password login, you will have to reset your account’s password.
- If you previously contacted the Support Team to delete your account but now wish to cancel the account deletion, please follow up with our Support Team.
- If you are trying to restore your Discord account but you are having trouble with logging into your account to cancel its deletion and you suspect that your account has been compromised, please reach out to our Support Team.
- If your account has been deleted because it was banned, disabled, or actioned on by Discord, you cannot restore it. You may submit an appeal on your account to our Trust & Safety team.
