Does Blizzard delete inactive WoW accounts?

No, Blizzard Entertainment generally does not permanently delete World of Warcraft accounts or characters due to simple inactivity; your characters and licenses remain tied to your Battle.net account, though you might need to log in to specific realms or contact support to see them, and names can be reset for very old, low-level characters after prolonged periods. To keep things safe and clear, you should secure your account with a strong password and authenticator, and for very old, abandoned accounts, Blizzard might eventually delete them if truly empty and unused for many years, but it's rare and often involves older systems.
