    Hi @anmolsheoran25,

    Sorry to hear that you accidentally deleted your domain—I know that can be stressful, but there may still be a way to recover it! Here are the steps you can take:

    1. Check Purchases: Go to https://wordpress.com/me → Purchases. If your domain is in the grace period (10–14 days), you can click Renew Now to recover it.
    2. Redemption Period: If the grace period has passed, it might be in the redemption period, requiring a redemption fee. Check your Purchases page or contact WordPress.com support for assistance.
    3. If Released: If the domain has been released, it can be registered by anyone. Try re-registering it through WordPress.com or another registrar.

    You can refer to this link to Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain. 

    Act quickly, as domains are harder to recover over time. 

    Hope this helps!
