unactive

Still and idle

Unactive is a nonstandard variant of inactive, meaning not active or not in use.

The standard form is inactive, which appears in careful writing: The account has been inactive for months.

Unactive occasionally surfaces in casual speech or informal writing but is generally considered an error.
