If you deactivate your DeviantART account, all of your uploaded artwork and posts will be deleted. You will also lose any privileges you may have had, such as commenting on other people’s art or being a part of groups. ..
Once you deactivate or delete your account, it will be as if you never had an active DeviantArt account. All of the public artwork and journals associated with it will also have disappeared.
You can deactivate your DeviantArt account, but after 21 days of inactivity, it is permanently deleted.
If you reactivate your account, this will mean that people can again see your timeline and find it in a search. However, some things may remain visible (for example: messages which were private).
Please email the help desk at [email protected] if you have lost access to your account contact information or to make changes to your account like changing your password and username. We can’t help you with these things if we don’t know who you are, so be sure to include a detailed description of what has happened in your message as well as the deviation’s login information that is associated with the issue.
