Hey ​@Efeonome , thanks for reaching out to the Figma Forum , and I’m sorry you’re running into this situation.
Unfortunately, deleting your account cannot be undone. All of your personal data and Figma files are also permanently deleted when your account is deleted.
As much as we'd like to help, it is not possible to restore a deleted account or any files that were in the account. You can find more details in our guide: Delete your account.

For reference, our data deletion and privacy policies are outlined here:

Just to double-check: please make sure it was the account you deleted, and not a team. If a team was deleted, the team owner or an admin can restore it using the restoration link included in the confirmation email sent at the time of deletion. More information on how to restore a deleted team in this guide.

Because this involves account-specific data, only our support team can review the details and confirm whether anything is recoverable. I’ve sent you a DM with the next steps so you can reach them securely. Please take a look when you can, they’re the best equipped to advise on what may still be possible.
