I guess unused accounts aren't ever just automatically deleted?
No, they're not (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=127). (Which is a pity, sometimes, as I'd like to have aud, which is "pne" rotated 180°; that journal was created two years ago and hasn't been updated once. But, well, read the FAQ.)
I thought maybe they would be, since they're taking up space
I don't think space is much of a problem; the data pretty much sits in the database and doesn't hurt much. What's harder on the database is the thousands of users actually using the site, I think. (Oh, and I also heard that purging deleted accounts is also really hard on the database, which is why it's done fairly seldomly.)
