Upon initiating account deletion, Riot Games requires 30 days to permanently remove it. During this period, your account remains inactive. After the 30 days, your account, including your username, skins, and all personal data, will be irreversibly deleted, allowing another player to use your former username. You have up to 25 days to contact support and request that the deletion be canceled.
Can You Restore Your Account After Deletion?
Unfortunately, once the 30-day period has elapsed, restoring your account becomes impossible. If your account was compromised and deleted by hackers, you may reach out to Riot Games support for potential recovery. However, success is not guaranteed, and full account recovery is often unfeasible.

Reasons for account deletion vary widely, from waning interest in the game to addressing gaming addiction. For some, deleting the account is a decisive step towards overcoming addiction, especially when the game has led to significant life disruptions such as job loss or social isolation. This issue can affect players of all ages, and while deleting the game might offer temporary relief, a complete account deletion is sometimes necessary to break free from the cycle of addiction. For many, this action is a crucial step towards refocusing on more important aspects of life, such as education or career.
