How to permanently delete your Twitter account
Before you can completely delete your Twitter account, you have to deactivate it and wait 30 days – this is to prevent people from hastily deleting their account and then regretting it, in theory.
To do this, follow these steps:
- In the app, use the left navigation menu to select “Settings and privacy”.
- Then tap on “Your account”, then on “Deactivate your account”.
- Read the information presented, then tap “Disable” if you are sure.
- Enter your account password and tap “Disable” again.
Your account is thus deactivated. The good news is that if you really want to delete it, you don’t have to do anything more. In 30 days, if you do not log in to your account, it will be automatically deleted.
Also be aware that if you want to use the email address associated with your account for another Twitter later, you must change it in your account settings before deleting your profile, otherwise it will be locked to your account once deleted. this disappeared.
