Account deleted after being in a locked state. Can I recover it?

My account was deleted due to it being in a locked state. I am trying to recover my files. I only noticed that it was i a locked state 2 days after it was deleted. I don't even need the account back,...

Apparently, Once the warning date for account deletion because it's in locked state, it automatically deletes. Not even the specialized agent can recover the account. Which sucks!
