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.

      Hey nitinsirsat, would you mind clarifying when was the last time you accessed your account and when did you try to log-in again this time around?
