I no longer have access to an old email address that I used to create my Box account and do not remember my old password. Is there any way for me to access my old Box account to retrieve my files and move them to my new Box account?

We usually recommend password reset for cases like yours. Since you won’t be receiving the password reset email due to deleted/invalid email account please consider reaching out to your email service provider (ESP) to regain access to your email account or creating a new account.
