Does Blizzard delete old accounts?

No, Blizzard Entertainment generally does not delete inactive Battle.net accounts, though characters (especially names) might get reset or purged after very long periods without login; you can manually delete your own account through Support if you want, which removes data within about 30 days. Accounts with games like World of Warcraft are kept, but character data (like names) can be released if they are extremely inactive, potentially requiring renames or support to recover, so it's best to keep accounts secure.
