It could be time commitment, ownership change, or boredom. Regardless of your reasons, there are several ways to permanently delete your account. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Revocation_of_app_permissions\"><\/span>Revocation of app permissions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to delete your Twitter account, you can revoke the app permissions. You can do this by visiting Settings &amp; Privacy and selecting Apps. Once you&#8217;ve found the app you want to revoke, go back to the account and follow the instructions. Make sure to read the app permissions carefully and delete them if they&#8217;re not essential. If the app is asking for your password or other credentials, you can revoke its access to your account.<\/p>\n<p>You can revoke apps on your Android device by opening the app&#8217;s settings and selecting the &#8220;Revocation of app permissions&#8221; option. The app will then display the name, description, home page link, and date of installation. To remove the app, click the red button that reads &#8220;Revoke app permissions.&#8221; This link changes to &#8220;Report application.&#8221; It only applies to apps that were added without your permission. Then, tap the back arrow (+) on the application&#8217;s name to return to the list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restoring_account_within_30_days\"><\/span>Restoring account within 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restoring your Twitter account is possible within thirty days of being permanently deleted. To do so, simply log in and confirm that you want to restore your account. Note that you cannot use your username and password on another Twitter account. Some Tweets and profiles will continue to appear in search results and internet archives for a few days after you decide to reactivate your account. You should contact Twitter if you think your account has been hacked, as they will help you recover it.<\/p>\n<p>Even though deleting your Twitter account permanently means that your tweets are no longer accessible to anyone, there is still hope for you to retrieve them. Twitter allows 30 days for you to reactivate your account. Restoring your account is very simple and only takes a few minutes. To reactivate your account, simply visit the Settings page and choose a different username. You can either do this from your web browser or the Twitter app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Downloading_tweets\"><\/span>Downloading tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to delete your Twitter account permanently, there are a couple of steps that you can take to download tweets before the account is completely deleted. First, you need to download the archived data, which comes as a ZIP file. In the file, you can view all of your tweets, account information, and other multimedia content. The archived data is not intended for backup purposes and is best suited for viewing and browsing the content.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing you want is to lose access to your tweets after they&#8217;ve been deleted from Twitter. Thankfully, this feature is available. By downloading tweets when deleting your account permanently, you can access your tweets from any device. You can also choose to download your entire account backup archive. Afterwards, you will be emailed a link to download the archive. This process will give you the ability to view the archived tweets whenever you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_new_account_with_same_email_ID\"><\/span>Creating a new account with same email ID<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to delete Twitter account permanently, you can change your username and email ID. However, it is important to change both before deactivating your old account. You can use the new account information only until you delete the old one. To delete your old account, log in to Twitter and navigate to the settings menu. Select the profile picture to open the main menu and then click on Settings and Privacy. Select Deactivate account from the general account settings.<\/p>\n<p>After deactivating your account, you can reactivate it with the same email ID. The deletion process will automatically expire after four to five weeks, but you can opt-out later. To reactivate an account, Twitter may ask you to provide additional information such as your phone number or email address. To undo the suspension, you will need to provide this information.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"285\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete Twitter Account Permanently For various reasons, you might be wondering how to delete Twitter account permanently.
