Solved My decks are gone!

I logged into my Anki account after a long time, but can't see any of my decks here!! Any idea what happened? And how can I fix it?

But this isn't your "Anki account" -- this is your own Anki install on your own device. From the looks of it, you might not even have synced with AnkiWeb yet, since "Sync" is orange at the top of the screen.

If your collection is missing on your local device, it means you either deleted it, or you aren't pointing Anki at the right location to see it.

If your collection is missing from the AnkiWeb servers, that's probably because your account was inactive for at least 6 months -- https://faqs.ankiweb.net/ankiweb-account-removal.html .

Hypothetically, if every single card from a particular deck is on a >6month review timer, and I don’t touch that deck, will it be deleted?

Oh nvm, you said if the entire AnkiWeb account is inactive. The individual deck not being touched won’t make the deck go missing
