What Happens After You Delete Your Account?

After initiating account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove it. During this period, the account remains inactive. Once the 30 days are up, your account, including your username, skins, and other personal data, will be irreversibly deleted. This means another player can then use your former username. If you change your mind, you can contact support within 25 days to request cancellation of the deletion.

Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?

No. After 30 days, restoring your account becomes impossible. If your account was hacked and deleted, you can reach out to Riot Games support for potential recovery, but success is not guaranteed, especially if the account has been fully deleted.

Reasons for deleting accounts vary widely, from losing interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting their account is a step towards overcoming addiction, especially when the game has negatively impacted their life, such as job loss or social isolation. Excessive gaming can affect people of all ages, and while deleting the game might be a temporary solution, for some, deleting the account is a crucial step to regain control over their lives and focus on other responsibilities like studies or work.
