Answer 2

@Emma Sorbie

Is this Gmail account a personal account or an account for business?

Generally, for OneDrive for business, if you delete the account, you have 30 days by default to access the OneDrive data. If you don't restore the account within this time, the OneDrive content is deleted.
If needed, you could refer to “Learn how to set the OneDrive retention for deleted users” to set the OneDrive retention.

Please refer to “Access a former user's OneDrive documents” if you would like to access to OneDrive.
