Merge Accounts Gone Wrong

He basically moved normal user account to the admin account.
Moved or merged?
If he didn't delete that user account, only moved it, then if all is well, it should be present somewhere still. Check the user level of the admin account if it's there.
Or login to phpmyadmin with the da_admin credentials and see if the database is still present.

I think merged as the other account is not there, nothing in phpmyadmin.

The original issue was its on the personal DA license and kept giving errors about having an admin account and the other account that got merged.
 
nothing in phpmyadmin.
So logged in as da_admin user (which has same rights as root)? If it's not there, then it's gone.
You might be lucky, however, since this is from issues with a personal license I doubt it. But if you have done a mysql/mariadb update before, there is a slight chance in the /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/mysql_backup directory a database backup is present.
Very small chance since the account notice of personal license, but still might be worth to have a look just to be sure.

If it's not there, and there is no backup, then it's lost, sorry.
 
That is normally a manual backup, unless you created cronjobs for it.

As said, automatic backups (if any) for mysql, they are in the directory I mentioned before.
