Is Steam removing old accounts?

[وعاء اللعنة]

Hey guys! I got a problem with my first steam account, the problem is i cant find this account and when i tried to recover a password it was linked to new account that i didnt know so is steam removing old accounts? i didn't loggin to this acc like 2-3 years

No, they are not, and stopped deleting any accounts quite a few years ago.

You need to find the correct account using your emails and receipts, and maybe ask for help in how to locate alternate accounts over on the Help and Tips section. I know there are ways (people manage to post "you mean THIS account" with a link, all the time, and lol I do NOT know how they do it) to find the right ones, and that might trigger your memory.

Valve does not remove inactive accounts.

They do terminate accounts that violate the Steam Subscriber Agreement.

Check your email that was attached to the old account again. Look for the account name associated with it in any purchase receipts.

What part of "they don't delete accounts" stated at least twice above, didn't you understand?

Retired Global Mod's old account.

I have a very old account which hasn't been touched for years. Not banned. So I'm assuming not.

Never post account names on the forums.

You can not prove anything and whatever "proof" you think you have is irrelevant.

Naming and shaming is against the rules and does not do any good.

You were likely phished. Hijacker could have used a trojan to access your account, email, etc.

I cant log in, I've changed my password and nothing. Now it says that I need to wait to log back in. I was inactive for half a year. Please...:(

This is not anything like the thread's subject.

Please just go to Steam's HELP page. Or, "wait" for a short time. When you make any changes, of course they take a bit of time to propagate through their system.
