Hi nitinsirsat, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If your account was deactivated due to inactivity, this means it wouldn't be possible to recover the account or the data within.
Given that you're able to create a new account with the same email, this means that the previous account is no longer available.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this matter.

Once an account is removed as its deactivated its not possible to recover. There is a possibility that the dates of inactivity do not exactly match up to 12 months, but, you are sent multiple email reminders that it will occur.
