Hi
I understand you're facing an issue where an intern accidentally deleted an account, and you're looking for a way to restore the associated files.
Unfortunately, deleting a Figma account is a permanent action that cannot be reversed.
However, there are a few scenarios where some files might still be accessible, depending on where they were located and the plan type:
- Files owned by the deleted account in teams or projects:
- These files become ownerless. Ownerless files cannot be claimed but are still accessible by those with file access.
- If a file only had view access set, team owners and admins might be able to join the file with edit access and then grant edit access to other users.
- Files in the deleted account's drafts:
- Starter plan: Draft files become inaccessible.
- Professional, Organization, or Enterprise plans: Draft files are collected into a project accessible only by admins. - Manage drafts of removed users
Please check more details in this guide: Delete your Figma account
Thanks,
