There is no one answer to this question as it depends on the specific case. In general, Telegram deletes inactive accounts if they have not been used in at least six months. However, there is a caveat to this rule: If an account is deleted for reasons such as being inactive or having a negative balance, it does not automatically mean that the user has stopped using the app. In some cases, Telegram may still consider the account to be active even if it has not been used in six months.
