A freshly deleted account acts the same as a disabled or deactivated account. So, it’s difficult to determine whether a user has left or is not active on Discord.
When someone deletes their Discord account, everything remains the same. No messages, images, links, videos, or anything from the chat log gets deleted. However, after 14 days of deletion, their account gets deleted permanently.
When this happens, their profile picture disappears, and the username gets changed to Deleted User #0000 or Deleted User XXXX, where X is a randomly generated character.
How to Know if A Discord Friend Deleted Their Discord Account Permanently?
You wouldn’t notice any changes if someone had recently deleted their account. The user’s Discord tag, profile picture, bio, and all the other things will stay intact. This is because Discord doesn’t delete an account just with a single push of the “Delete Account” button.
They wait 14 days to ensure the user truly wants to delete their account. Discord deactivates/disables their account for those 14 days and then deletes it permanently after that interval.
To know if someone from your Discord Friend List has deleted their Discord Account, follow the steps below.
Know Their User Tag
Before you search for your friend everywhere on Discord, make sure you know their correct Discord tag, which consists of a username and a discriminator. A discriminator is an auto-generated four-digit number with a “#” in front.
Multiple people are allowed to have the same username. However, what really differentiates them is the number behind it. This discriminator tends to stay the same even after their account gets deleted in most cases.
Go Through Your Friends List
The User will likely appear on your friend list if you’re friends with them. Since they are kept in alphabetical order, go through the list thoroughly, and focus mainly on the initial letter of your friend’s username. It might appear as eitherDeleted User #0000orDeleted User XXXX, X being their discriminator or randomly generated characters.
On Phone
Check Mutual Friend’s List
If you have a mutual friend, their username will likely appear on the mutual friend’s profile list. If you can’t find your friend’s username on that list, they probably have deleted their account. This list appears in alphabetical order as well.
How to Know if Someone Who is Not Your Friend Deleted Their Discord Account Permanently?
To know if someone not on your Discord Friend List has deleted their Discord Account, follow the steps below.
Check on Servers
If the person was someone who was on thesame discord serveras you but not your friend, you could look for them on the same server. Go through the member’s list and see if the user’s name appears. If the user has deleted their account, it will appear as DeletedUser#0000 or DeletedUser#xxxx, where x is their Discord tag discriminator or a bunch of randomly generated characters.
Look Up on the Add Friends Bar
First, ensure you know their Discord username and discriminator and type it correctly on the Add Friends bar. Despite inserting the accurate Discord Tag, if the “Double check that the capitalization, spelling, any spaces, and numbers are correct.” error appears, the account has been deleted.
