Sent withdraw bank transfer to non existing account

So, Im a knucklehead. I just transferred money from my paypal to a bank account I closed about 4 years ago, yikes. I didn't even know that account was still tied to my paypal so when using paypal mobile it was an easy oversight. I know ppl who have input the wrong routing # or account # and the transfer gets kicked back. My worry is that that was an actual account and routing number at one point. I'm not sure how banks do it but I would assume they may reuse account numbers after it has been inactive for so long. Any advise please? Am I just being paranoid?

I'd sure be interested in seeing how this turns out.

Especially regarding how long before you can get your money back.
