Could I recover a fb account that was permanently deleted years ago?

I regret deleting my skype account where I had my old pictures and messages stored in that account years ago. Could skype have my account stored in an archive? If so, is there any way for me to revive my account from Skype's archive?

The files are still on the drive in the form of 1's and 0's, but the "directions" to them have been changed so the next time the computer writes data it can likely overwrite part or all of the deleted files.
So you can't boot that machine or download anything to it less you risk overwriting files.
So, what can be done?
Use one Mac to another using Firewire Target Disk Mode and running a $99 DataRescue to scan the drive and output the files it finds to another hard drive.
This way one can pick through the files recovered and find what your looking for.
Luckily Pictures are rather easy to find, it's text files that are a pain..
Another option is to install OS X on a external drive and then use that to Data Rescue the target drive.
I've covered it all here,

Once the files are recovered you can recreate the account and do your best to get it back to somewhat.

  • Any way to recover a user account that was deleted?

    I probably know the answer to this but I screwed up and deleted a user account with settings, documents, applications migrated from one Mac to another. I had two user accounts for my wife and when I deleted the one which I shouldn't have deleted she lost her iPhoto pics. Any chance that account is buried somewhere deep in my Macbook?

  • I find how to get back your account that was hacke...

    HEY GUYS, I got My account back,  I try all stupid forms that skype ask you to fill.. so.. 
    here what you have to do.. 
    1st get a new account with an email from same domain .. in my case I have my onw domain, so I load new email account. 
    2., add as many contact as you can from your old account ., ask same peopel to add you . 
    3,. go and fill the form and feel all fileds, try to be exactr, in my case I had first skype at 2003,, so I couldnt remmber the date or email tha I sign up.. 
    4. skype will send you saying they cant do anything as your info is not correct .. dont worry , keep sending emails to the person who respont. try to show that you are the owner 
    5. in my case. I ask them to put back the email account that was befor the update, most time the hackers will update your email and password, but skype know your past emails, .. 
    6. after 5 days, I am sure if you not give up, you will get your account back, as skype will send you a request email for update the password from the past email account.. 
    so.. I think .. you can try . and dont get upsat, I get my account back. and realy all what I provide, beside my contacts was incorrect . 

    What file() did you delete?
    Only specific files or the entire Firefox profile folder?
    Do you still have the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder?
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you use the Time Machine then try to restore the file(s) from that backup.

  • TS3988 How do I get the email account that was in icloud?

    Hello, my manager handed me his phone off to resolve it and I restored and updated the iphone without knowing who was the account that was set up iCloud, and now I can not activate the phone. How do I get the email account that was in icloud that was configured on the phone? Starting email already know who is the account

    No one can give you that.  Ask your manager to contact the previous owner of the device.  They are the only one who can help you with this, either by providing the correct ID and password, or erasing the phone and removing it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.

  • My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

    My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

  • A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!

    Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID).  That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

    A email account that was used is now not in use and songs that were purchased and added are bound to this old account from the same computer how do I the purchaser of these songs reclaim the authorization to play and use in my new account. even though account name may have been changed.

    Just authorize the computer and retreive them.

    FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.
