You only have a very short amount of time to cancel the deletion request and you would need to contact Apple and provide them the code you received when you requested the account to be deleted. See the information provided in the Support Article here:


What happens if I change my mind after I have requested that my account be deleted?

While your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support with the unique alphanumeric access code you received, and we’ll help you cancel your request. After your account is deleted, Apple can’t cancel the request, reopen your account, or restore your data.
