Executive summary

The available reporting shows TrueAchievements allows users to request account deletion via an admin form and that the site can and does delete accounts, but it does not publish a clear, unconditional policy saying a deleted user may or may not be able to re-register later; community reports suggest recreation with the same gamer tag or credentials can be blocked or detected (so recreation may not always be possible) [1] [2] [3] [4]. Because the company’s public documents and forum threads leave gaps, the answer is: maybe — you might not be able to create the same kind of account again, but the site’s practices and technical enforcement determine the real outcome [2] [1] [5].

1. What TrueAchievements tells users about deleting accounts and how to request it

TrueAchievements directs users who want an account removed to fill out an online contact form and wait for an administrator to process the request, and community threads repeat that guidance as the standard method for account deletion [1] [3]. The site’s privacy policy and GDPR-era handling are referenced in forum discussions as the framework under which deletions are handled, and users have been told that GDPR workloads have caused delays in processing removal requests [6] [7].

2. The legal and policy backdrop that shapes what deletion means on TA

The site’s Terms and Conditions state that TrueAchievements reserves the right to delete users at any time without notice, a clause that confers broad control to the operator over account lifecycle and implies the company can remove or block accounts per its internal rules [2]. Forum discussion and moderator commentary indicate deletion can remove “a lot of data” unless retained for “special purposes,” which means deletion may be partial and governed by privacy/retention choices rather than a clean, irreversible wipe in all cases [5].

3. Community experiences: re-registering can be blocked or detected

Multiple community reports suggest practical obstacles to creating a new account after deletion: some users describe attempts to re-register with the same Xbox gamer tag or different email and finding the system still recognizes the tag as already registered or otherwise blocks a new registration tied to that gamertag [4]. Those anecdotal accounts point to identity-detection or reservation mechanisms in the site’s backend — not an explicit customer-facing rule — that can prevent simple recreation of an account with the same identity markers.

4. Technical and policy reasons TrueAchievements might prevent re-creation

The site enforces rules about account linking, cheating, and profile removal from automated scanners, and it has mechanics to mark or remove profiles for policy reasons (for example cheating thresholds or non-stat tracking), which creates technical precedents for the system to treat accounts as persistent even when users ask for deletion [8]. That technical behavior, combined with the Terms’ reservation of deletion rights, gives operators several ways to block re-registration or to retain markers that prevent a plain “new” account creation with prior identifiers [2] [8].

5. Bottom line and practical recommendation given the evidence

The reporting does not provide a black-and-white policy statement that once deleted a TrueAchievements account can never be re-created; however, forum evidence and the site’s operational policies make clear that deletion is processed by admins, that data retention exceptions exist, and that re-registration with the same gamertag has in practice been prevented for some users [1] [5] [4]. For anyone considering deletion, the prudent expectation is that immediate or guaranteed re-creation of an identical account is not assured by public documentation; direct confirmation from TrueAchievements support is the only way to know how a particular deletion will be handled in practice [1] [6].
