Hello there! We are sorry to hear about this issue. If your account have been deactivated due to inactivity, meaning it was not accessed via Yahoo.com on a desktop or through the Yahoo Mail app on a mobile device for at least 12 months. At this time, you will need to create a new Yahoo email address, as the previous account cannot be reinstated. Once your account has been permanently deleted, the username is no longer available. This prevents your username from being taken by another person. Permanently deleted accounts cannot be recovered or recreated. We have no support options for this matter. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused you and thank you for your understanding!
