Just make sure you do this within the 30 day deactivation period. Otherwise, you may find that your tweets remain viewable on search engines. If you do decide to delete your Twitter account, you must click on &#8220;Deactivate&#8221; to confirm it. Once your account has been deactivated, you will not be able to sign up for 30 days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Delete_your_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Delete your Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering, &#8220;Should I delete my Twitter account?&#8221; The answer depends on your reasons for wanting to get rid of your account. If you&#8217;re a user who shares opinions with a wide variety of people, you might want to think about using another social media platform. Twitter is a great place to post breaking news and current events, but it can also become a source of &#8220;doomscrolling&#8221; &#8211; scrolling through bad news until you find something good. That&#8217;s especially difficult to avoid during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Also, there are beefs and bullying going on in the Twitter community, as well as misinformation spreading like wildfires.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are several methods to permanently delete your Twitter account. You can do this via the Twitter website or any of their mobile apps. In both cases, you&#8217;ll need to enter a password to sign in. If you&#8217;re unsure, you can call Twitter support for help. They will guide you through the process and provide you with an account recovery service. If you&#8217;re not satisfied with the results, you can try deactivating your account again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_username\"><\/span>Change your username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your Twitter username if you wish. If you are unhappy with your current username, you can change it to something more appropriate. In some cases, you can add a hyphen, underscore, or location to your username. The username you choose will be a major part of the character count of each tweet you make. The easiest way to change your Twitter username is to edit your settings in your existing account. Simply select Account settings &gt; Change your username and enter the new username in the corresponding field. If the username you choose is not taken, it will show up as available.<\/p>\n<p>While all your tweets will disappear from your Twitter profile, you can reactivate them after a certain period of time. This can range from 30 days to 12 months, after which they will be permanently deleted. After the reactivation period, you will not be able to access any of your old tweets. However, you can archive the Notifications page. Go to the data page and click &#8220;Request Archive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_email_address\"><\/span>Change your email address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are wondering how to delete your Twitter account, you can easily change your email address. You can change it through the website or mobile app. Both processes are similar, though the process varies based on your device. For one, you might no longer have access to the account, while another might prefer a different email address. If that is the case, you can change your Twitter email address using the Tech Reference library at Business Insider.<\/p>\n<p>The process is similar to deleting your Facebook account, though it works a bit differently. After you have changed your email address, Twitter will send you a confirmation code by email. You must enter the code to confirm that you own the account. If you have forgotten your password, you can always sign out. The process is fairly straightforward. To change your email address, just visit the Twitter settings and click on &#8220;edit my details.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivate_your_account_within_the_30-day_deactivation_period\"><\/span>Reactivate your account within the 30-day deactivation period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have decided to deactivate your Twitter account, you should know that you can still reactivate it within the 30 days. If you decide to deactivate your account, you will lose all of your data, including the tweets you have made. This feature is particularly useful if you&#8217;ve had a lot of interactions with people on Twitter. Fortunately, Twitter makes it easy to reactivate your account, so it&#8217;s worth a try.<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate your Twitter account, sign in to the site with your new email address and password. This will allow you to read all your tweets in nicely formatted HTML file. You can also use the email address that you used to sign up for the account again. Once you&#8217;ve logged in, you can change your password to make it more secure. After that, just follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"484\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" height=\"271\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete My Twitter Account If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to delete my Twitter account, this article will help you get rid of it and change your username or email address.
