If the deletion request is still being processed, contact Apple Support as soon as possible. You’ll need the unique alphanumeric access code Apple gave you when you requested the deletion. Apple can use that code to cancel the request.


Don’t post that access code here or anywhere publicly.


If the account has already been deleted, Apple says the deletion can’t be reversed and the account or its data can’t be restored.

That information is detailed here:

When you request account deletion, you’ll receive a unique alphanumeric access code. Make sure that you keep this access code in a safe place. For a short period of time while your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support, provide your access code, and we’ll help you cancel your request so you can resume using your Apple Account.


  • What happens if I change my mind after I have requested that my account be deleted?

While your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support with the unique alphanumeric access code you received, and we’ll help you cancel your request. After your account is deleted, Apple can’t cancel the request, reopen your account, or restore your data.
