What happens after you delete your Stripe account?
Your Stripe account is permanently deleted after your 30-day deactivation window. When you don’t log into your account during the 30-day period, it lets Stripe know you want to permanently delete your account. Once your account is deleted, your account is no longer available in Stripe systems.
Thus, to request that your account be permanently deleted expresses your intention to fully remove both your user account and any existing information relevant to your account. This cannot be undone, and Stripe won’t be able to recover any of your data after you permanently delete your account.
