Question: How do I recover my deleted Yahoo! account?
Answer:
According to my weblog traffic analysis, I found out that many users who have deleted their Yahoo! account wondered if they are able to retrieve their account back.
Unfortunately, deleted Yahoo! account is not recoverable. According to Yahoo! 
themselves, once you deleted your Yahoo! account you will lose access to all personalized areas of Yahoo! such as Geocities web page, Yahoo! Mail account, and any other area of Yahoo! that can only be accessed with your Yahoo! ID and password.
You will also not be able to reactivate it after the account has been deleted but you are always welcome to sign up for a new account again.

Are we talking about recovering emails or the actual account?

If you are planning on deleting an account you will take out all you find precious so then opening a new account is okay.

if you want to create a new account make sure that your mind double thinks before you delete the old one.

your site should not be called Tips and tutorial it should be called “Paste link and Tutorial, Power to claim it all of it on my side”

yes it is not recoverable.
I lost my account coz of that

Hey mate , you can’t recover your yahoo account . The only way is to create a new one with the same name !
July 15th, 2008 at 4:38 am
btw if someone registered with your old name …it’s bad luck , u must make another one with another name
July 15th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Strange, you can’t recover it BUT nobody else can take over the username either. Wonder how long this lasts?
July 15th, 2008 at 8:01 pm

I have a friend, she is asking me how to recover a deleted account in yahoo? she was trying to sign up for a new one with the same name but seems it is taken already by someone.. she wanted to see the yahoo ID’s of her friends there, she don’t care about the mail but the ID’s .. what do you think we should do?
July 17th, 2008 at 3:25 am
I think, username and password is still you can used but you have to wait for 90 days to register again that same user account.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I don’t think one would delete an account and then instantly want it back.
July 30th, 2008 at 5:24 am
The worst is deleting accounts on places like myspace and linkedin and then trying to re-register and your name is taken!

I use yahoo against better knowledge, would never forget my login/pass though.
February 20th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I am more annoyed by their rule that if you don’t login for 90 days your mail disappears!!
March 1st, 2009 at 5:27 am
Yeah like I read an article recently. Your online assets doesn’t belong to you actually. Read ToS closely.
March 13th, 2009 at 1:42 am
Ohh !! Great joke, i thought you really having key to recover deleted account but you made me laugh … nice liked.

I currently have hotmail and gmail accounts. I wanted a new account, so I tried yahoo. I found, though, that there were too many extras with yahoo, that they distracted from my emails – I ended up spending too long online. I subsequently deleted the account and opted for gmail instead. As always google wins out!
March 19th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Are the email recyclable? Do they consider it as dropped email?
March 19th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Great tip, really learned some useful info.
April 7th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Why delete it? Just don’t use it…
April 8th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
if you dont use your yahoo account for like 5 years it gets deleted right?? if it does get deleted but not by you..can it be fixed then??? craaaaaapppp~~~

My first email account was on yahoo back in 1997 and a few years ago they told me that they merged databases and my email was a duplicate. It was deleted. I was mad and bummed. It was my first email account!

Deleted accounts can recovered,but if your account is deactivated( by voilating yahoo TOS, like using stolen CC on games site for example) there is no way you can recover, but if its hacked you can call the yahoo customer care numbers. They will ask you details like when u opened the account ask you to list few buddies from your buddy list, few mails in ur mailbox,etc and they will reset password for you.
So a tip for all yahoo users save the fist mail in your mailbox, the mail saying like welcome to yahoo… remember the date and time. you will need this to recover hacked account.
Admin: Thanks for the tip Vikram.

No, yahoo does not issue the same ID for security reasons. That way no one else can get the ID and use it and get email that was intended for you. Sorry!!!
May 10th, 2009 at 9:06 am
I recently tried to sign in to one of my older yahoo accounts that I havn’t used in a long time and it told me my account was closed. They did give me the option to reactivate that account with the same username and password. But all the emails in that account were gone.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
i think you can ‘recover’ or i mean make the yahoo id under the same name after 90 days from the day you deleted the yahoo id..
May 30th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
My yahoo account was not deleted, but my geocities website and yahoo files managed through file manager were. My yahoo has remained active. Is there any way to get back the files if not the website per se? I got some from Wayback Machine, but only about a third to a half.
June 1st, 2009 at 9:56 am
Ok so I deleted my yahoo email account but I forgot i left that email with some sites i use like myspace and school stuff and I cant change emails unless i have access to my deleted one.
June 1st, 2009 at 11:33 am
I can attest to the yahoo account recovery service. I had my email hacked 9 months ago. It wasn’t easy to do but yahoo customer service helped my get everything back.
Now I filter emails like crazy. Be careful which emails you open, even if it gets past the spam filters.

Please be sure you want to delete your entire account as you will not be able to reactivate it after the account has been deleted. You are always welcome to sign up again for a new account.
September 1st, 2009 at 9:30 am
Please complete the deletion process only if you are certain you would like to remove your entire Yahoo! account and any features you have personalized within the account.
