Real trading accounts can be archived manually or are archived automatically after a certain period of inactivity. Inactivity is the absence of trading and/or transactional activity (deposit, withdrawal, or internal transfer). 

Demo accounts are irreversibly deleted after inactivity.

Once archived, real accounts cannot be used to trade unless reactivated. Funds left in an archived account will remain, but the account must be reactivated to restore its transaction options.

Finding your archived accounts

Archived accounts are shown in the Archived tab of the My accounts area in the Personal Area (PA).

Here is how you can locate them:

1. Log in to your PA and head to the My accounts tab.
2. Choose the Archived tab to see the accounts here.

Manual archiving

Here’s how to manually archive accounts on the web PA:

1. Log into your Personal Area.
2. Open My Accounts.

Automatic archiving

Real accounts are automatically archived, and demo accounts are deleted after a set period of inactivity. 

Archived accounts are hidden in the PA but stay active in MetaTrader; consider reactivating archived accounts instead of creating new ones.
