If you’ve seen your friends offline for a very long time you may wonder, does Roblox delete inactive accounts? Since they don’t have an official stance on this, it leads to so much speculation.
Does Roblox really delete the inactive accounts?
Considering when Roblox was made and it’s popularity, you’d expect thousands of users being made every day. And you would be right to think so. But does Roblox delete some old and inactive accounts?
Firstly, there’s a couple of reasons that accounts go inactive. One of the most destructive reasons is that when accounts get banned, they are now listed as inactive. This can be a little less telling for why a player went inactive; are they not playing or unable to play? If Roblox was a little more clear on this, there’d be fewer questions on it. But with no official stance from Roblox, they don’t officially delete inactive accounts. People thought they might be doing that to save on server space and long dead accounts taking up space that could be going to fresh users as the Roblox player count continues to grow.
Should you be worried if you can’t log in?
So if Roblox doesn’t delete inactive accounts, what are they doing? The short answer is actually nothing. Even accounts that get terminated, aren’t actually deleted. They just prevent you from logging back in. If you know the player ID of a terminated account you can still search it. It’s not super useful information, but a cool tidbit.
If you’re struggling to log back into an old account, its probably that you forgot the details, not that your Roblox account has been removed, or inactive. Or that Roblox is shutting down in 2025 as some people claim.
How do I reset my account details if my account is inactive?
The same as you would normally. The same goes for deleting the account if you want to fully get rid of it. You’ll need to get in touch with support. There, with the right details for your account, you should be able to get your password reset, and log back into that account.
But if you’re still struggling to log into the account after, you might want to check the Roblox server status and see if the problem is on their end.
