Step 1: It is imperative that you act on it as soon as you can. There is only a short period of time allowed by Google for users to recover deleted Gmail accounts. Google has not yet informed the public about the length of time it will take before the Gmail accounts marked for deletion will be unrecoverable. The time may vary or it may be set, no one knows. If you act on recovering your Gmail account as quickly as you can, then you may be able to recover your deleted account.
Step 2: Go directly to the Google Password Assistance page. This is the sign-in page where you can locate the “I'm having other problems signing in” selection. You simply have to enter your email address and then click on “Continue” to proceed with the next step.
Step 3: If you have just recently deleted this Gmail account, then the password for it should still be fresh in your mind. You should then enter the old password. Once you have entered the password, proceed to click on “Continue”.
Step 4: Click on the “Submit a recovery request” option. Once you have successfully entered the password and clicked on the “Continue” button, you will be directed to the page informing you about your account being deleted. There will be a link to the recovery request form on the page. Click it . Please do take note that if you have not received a link to this recovery request, it is highly likely that the account is already permanently deleted.
Step 5: Finish the verification process. After you have clicked on recovery request form, there will be a series of steps for verification that you will have to complete. You start off with entering the email address you have currently access to and then answer questions regarding the password. You will also be asked about the last time the lost account was accessed and then when it was created. These are information Google will use for verifying that you are truly the owner.
Step 6: Check your current email address since Google will send an email to that. The email will not immediately appear so you may have to wait a while for it. Check the said email and click the attached link for creating a new password to that account. Once done, then that means you have already successfully recovered the deleted Gmail account.
