Is there any way to access deleted projects from a deleted account?

I know that Turbowarp used to be able to do it prior to the API change in 2022, but considering my old account doesn't exist anymore, I am just wondering if there is a workaround to this. (I.e. a hidden exploit or something.)

Note: I am not trying to hack anyone, just on a hunt for some personal lost media.

Invisible after the api change. All you can see now is your old bio and followers.

You could potentially contact ST about it but it’s unlikely they’ll grant you access.

I contacted them three times. Got the same result. Would It make any difference to give them evidence of ownership via stuff like links to projects and studios?

Id recommend giving them
-a description of several unshared projects on the account
-the birth month and year on the account
-the email the account was created with
That might make them more likely to help.

The problem is that the old account was created under an old virgin.net address, which had become prone to hacking. That's one of the reasons the account was deleted and I have since forgotten the Email address.

Though I do know a few projects and have some of the profile pictures and thumbnails intact.

What do I do from here for the JSON code?
