Hello Lloyd Galey
You can recovery your Hotmail within 60 days of termination. If it’s not been 60 days, login to your Hotmail account and with one security verification you will get back your Hotmail account. But if it’s been 60 days after you deleted Hotmail then you can not get back your account, though you can talk with Microsoft support.
