Can you restore a deleted character in WoW?

To recover a deleted World of Warcraft character, use the in-game "Restore Character" button on the character selection screen for recent deletions, typically available once every 7 days, with eligibility depending on level and time since deletion. For older or purged characters, or if the in-game tool fails, you'll need to submit a support ticket to Blizzard, but very old data may be permanently gone. Always log into the correct account and realm first.
