Brief Overview
Recovering permanently deleted Minecraft is not possible. However, after deleting the account you have a 60 day time window in which you can restore the deleted Minecraft account. To cancel the deletion of your account, just log in to Microsoft and verify your details with a security code and your account will be reactivated. Once the 60 days are over your account will be permanently deleted and can’t be recovered.

4. Now enter the 6-digit security code that has been sent to your phone through text message and select Next.
5. Finally, reset your password and click on the Next button. After this, log in to your Minecraft account using your newly updated password and enjoy playing this masterpiece.

Can I Restore My Permanently Deleted Mojang Account?
No, once your Mojang account is permanently deleted, you would never be able to recover it. Furthermore, deleting your Minecraft Mojang account will result in the permanent loss of your game purchases including your Gamer tag and game progress.
How To Reactivate Deleted Minecraft Account?
Your deactivated Minecraft account can be reopened on only one condition. If you have submitted the account deletion request then you can cancel it within 30 to 60 days of deleting your account. If you fail to do so then your account will be permanently deleted and you will lose all of your games and app purchases including subscriptions with it.
If you are lucky and you have not missed the account deletion period then follow Microsoft’s account reactivation process mentioned below:
1. First, go to the Microsoft account login page and sign in using the same credentials you used to close your account.
2. Click on Reopen account on the pop-up that appears.
3. Next, enter the last 4 digits of your registered phone number and click on Send code.

Moreover, here are some things to keep in mind about the subscriptions when your Microsoft account is reopened.
You will get the remaining time of your subscriptions but you will not get back the used time when your account was in the deletion period. If your subscription was over during the Microsoft account deletion then you would have to repurchase it.
Note: In case you have created your account via Mojang then the 60-day time window after deletion is not applicable to you and your account is permanently deleted right away.
