I have a bunch of names I like. When a new league is about to start, I pick several (old) characters whom I decide are the least important, strip them of everything I care about and then wait.

When the new league actually starts, I then delete and then recreate a new character with the old name right away.

A delay or cooldown timer on actually deleting a character would be something that would be very annoying to me.


You can ask ggg support to swap names if you don't want to delete.

Off-topic: I do this exact thing myself. League characters are all reborn versions of old characters (same name, usually same class, but often entirely different otherwise). I delete the crappy ones who never quite got very powerful - the strange off-meta projects who would require way too much investment to catch up to the rest. In this way I keep the average power of my “roster” as high as I can.

I’m always super careful to strip them before I delete. I sympathize with the OP; some of those old chars mean a lot to me and have decent investment so I’d be miserable if I accidentally deleted one.
We're all in this leaky boat together, people.

AS an update they restored in less than 24 hours all is good..had to give it a new name..but otherwise all is good ;-)
about a year and so ago I deleted a low level raider with a pair of nicely corrupted Al Dhih's... felt bad and didn't know I could ask for a restore.

Probably way too late :P

edit: apparently not! can't see the inventory on the restored ladies here but when I am back on my main pc i going to check...

just going to say never ever give up. you might be surprised at what gets saved and can be restored. Thanks GGG for having our backs!
