Expect the local session consequence
Google warns that deleting cookies can sign you out and remove remembered preferences. If a legitimate site asks for a login immediately after a deliberate cleanup, that can be the expected local result. The prompt alone does not establish that the provider deleted the account or changed the subscription term.
Reconstruct the sequence first
Write down which site’s data was removed, whether other categories were selected and what happened on the next visit. If the browser now shows the ordinary sign-in page, distinguish that from an explicit provider message saying an account is disabled, unpaid or unavailable. These states need different evidence and should not be paraphrased into one general account failure.
Use the established recovery route
Enter credentials only on the legitimate intended site, and use its supported recovery flow if necessary. Do not copy passwords or playlist secrets into an email just because the browser forgot a session. If the next sign-in fails, retain the exact error and ask about that result rather than assuming another purchase will recreate the old login.
Restore only what the task needs
A clean-session comparison can be useful, but it should not turn into repeatedly deleting every browser account or allowing all third-party storage globally. Keep the affected site and chosen settings clear. If a temporary exception was part of the experiment, record and review it separately from the data deletion itself.
Questions, answered
Can a login prompt be an expected cleanup result?
Yes. Google warns that cookie deletion can sign you out.
Does the prompt prove the provider deleted the account?
No. Inspect the actual provider response.
