Your accounts are only deleted after many months (12+) of inactivity and at least 3 months of emails to say its going to happen. That to be fair is not unrealistic and it is something that you agree to via the T&C's when joining. 

 

There is, now, a small window to say 'recover' this account by rejoining with the same email. I believe though its only 7 days or so after it was deleted.
