Unable to sign into account

Hello everyone,

I had a quick question.

I believe I deleted an old email account of mine awhile ago almost 2 years ago.

But unfortunately it is still active somehow. I forgot my password and important information so I cant sign in to

ensure that it is closed.

I was wondering, do all my attempts at trying to sign back into the account keep it active? If I stop trying to sign in, will it eventually

be marked inactive and deleted?

Thank you!
