Old WC3 online account recoverable?

I used to play Warcraft III a decent amount online many years ago, and while I expect that Blizzard routinely discards unused BattleNet accounts, I was curious if there was a way to verify whether an account was removed or if, for some reason, it might still exist.

Thanks!

I would also like to know if there’s an easier way to recover old account for classic warcraft III.
