If we delete our discord account, then does the discord account not get deleted instantly? Does it take time?

So I had an old discord account, nearly 2 years old, suddenly, around 5 days ago I was scammed, it was the classic "accidentally reported you" scam and I fell for it

It was from someone in the server I am in and he told me this and showed me a fake message and told me that my account will be permanently banned after 4 hours

I was asked to contact some jeremy support and I did, he told me to write my dob, email, and the country I live in, and I did

Then he told me to change my email to a temporary email he gave me, but here's a thing, I didn't understand this, I didn't know that you could change your email in discord

So I went into my gmail and tried to find the email which was associated with my older discord account but I couldn't find that email in my gmail, I just couldn't

Then that jeremy guy told me to share my screen and I foolishly did and went into my gmail, he probably saw some of my accounts but those accounts had passwords so I think those accounts are safe (and I didn't get any suspicious notification or email either)

And I swear he couldn't see that email even in my gmail, because that email which was linked to my gmail was not present in my gmail or mail box

I didn't give any otp, didn't click any suspicious link, couldn't change password so he asked me to pay 50 dollars and I refused telling him that I don't have money, and he blocked me, I was able to use that account fine, but I got scared and logged out of my discord account without changing email (stupidity) (first time happened to me)

And after that I tried to log in, but they are sending that verification code to that email of mine which I can't find anywhere, I tried to recover that email of mine and it simply said "couldn't find that email" and after sometime I tried to login again in discord and it said "this email doesn't exist" I don't remember exactly if it said "email" or "account" but that was the message

So I created a new account using different email, I had username of my friends so I was able to meet them again and then they told me that my old account seems perfectly fine, or rather it seems fine with no issue, this suggests that my account wasn't permanently banned or deleted

I can't login to that account because of that email issue so I went into discord support and they told me to send ticket with the older email of mine which I used to create my discord account but that email doesn't exist in my gmail

I tried so much in Google email recovery and it just said "couldn't find your email" so I guess I had mistakenly deleted that email of mine (I am not sure) so I came to the conclusion that I logged off my discord account and I can't login because the email associated with that account doesn't exist

But when I tried to register that email again on my discord, it actually did, but it was a completely new account, but I logged off and I was shocked this email started to work somehow and this is when I realised that discord account can exist independently without emails and email is only needed for verification

So I lost that discord account forever permanently, that account had no money, no nitro, was not linked to my bank, and had nothing in it and my email also had no money, nothing

But then I saw that the same email is linked to my Instagram, tho I changed that email now to my new active one, (does that mean Instagram doesn't require email?)

Tho I just wanted to know:

Did that jeremy guy stole my email and account?

Did my discord account got hacked?

Was my old email long deleted?

Can my email be stolen just like that?

Is my personal info safe?
