forgot my actual paypal account

hello everyone.

 

i made a paypal account around the time of 30th august - 1st september. the thing is, i wanted to keep my paypal account and other such transaction emails to a separate email inbox, so i created a new email specifically to sign up for paypal. now as it happens, i have absolutely forgotten what that email was - i'm sure i wrote it down somewhere but i've been scouring my files and notebooks and i can't find it.

 

i made a new paypal account yesterday, to be able to do something. i just wanted to know what could/would possibly happen to the first account now that it's never going to be used because i will never have access to it again. will it get deleted? is it possible for me to recover it? could i simply ask paypal somehow to give me the email address that's attached to the name i signed up with? i know i would be able to get into my email address once i just remember what it is, since i can access my 'recovery' email.

 

i can't even remember my paypal.me link 😞

 

thank you.
