Accidentally create a character in the game "NetRunner". Will it be
deleted out of inactivity?

I was browsing some door games and I came across NetRunner. As I've
opened it, it asked for a nick and I tried to abort the game.
Eventually, I inserted "X" and it asked me to accept some skills'
values. I declined and pressed key "n" multiple times, so the game
closed and it told me to come back tomorrow.

I saw on the Web what it is about and I'm not interested, so I'm
wondering whether the game will remember this "X" player or if it'll
be deleted because of inactivity. Thanks in advance!

I believe you are overthinking your impact on that particular instance
of that particular game.  as for "if" it will get purged, that is up
to how the sysop has the door game configured.

Yeah, I absolutely always overthink! But this time there's a point,
since I don't want to be a ghost in the list of players. I guess the
dear X will be erased, he doesn't even have skills or actually played
the game.

Not to worry. You'll probably be in good company.

It will be purged, depending on the setting the sysop has for
inactivity deletions.  As far as I know, it can't be disabled, but I
don't know what the maximum is.  As long as the sysop isn't posting
the scores in a bulletin, I doubt anyone will even notice you're in
there.  I don't think there's any way to view players from inside the
game, but there is a top 5 runner bulletin.

Thanks for the information! I think inactivity deletions should be
compulsory, since a person can change their mind.
