We&#8217;ll explain how to do this if you&#8217;ve been suspended or cannot log in. Follow the steps below to delete the account. You&#8217;ll be able to remove your account from Twitter&#8217;s system in as little as 10 minutes. But you must do this in a timely manner, otherwise it won&#8217;t be deleted until the suspension period ends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_an_old_twitter_account\"><\/span>How to delete an old twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t remember your password anymore, you&#8217;ve probably wondered if it&#8217;s possible to delete an old Twitter account. The good news is that it&#8217;s possible! If you have forgotten your password, there are two methods you can use to regain access to your account. In both cases, you&#8217;ll need the help of a friend. Fortunately, both methods work. Read on to learn how to remove your old Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>One of the ways to delete an old Twitter account you cannot access is to request to reset your password. You can do this by contacting Twitter support through email or text message. Make sure you have access to your email in order to complete the request. Once you have received the code, you&#8217;ll have to confirm your identity to make the deletion process work. Fortunately, there are many other options available to you as well.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to do this is to borrow a friend&#8217;s device and contact Twitter support to request deletion. To confirm the deletion, you&#8217;ll need the user ID of your old account. This is a great option if you&#8217;ve forgotten your Twitter password, or your account was suspended by Twitter. Just make sure you have access to the account for at least 30 days before it&#8217;s automatically deleted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_suspended_twitter_account\"><\/span>How to delete a suspended twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are wondering how to delete a suspended Twitter account, read this first. If you&#8217;ve been suspended from the service, your tweets will be hidden and only your username will be visible. While you&#8217;ll be unable to engage with other Twitter users, your email address, username, and phone number will still be displayed. Unlike accounts that have been permanently deleted, you can&#8217;t open a new account with a suspended account.<\/p>\n<p>In order to delete a suspended Twitter account, you&#8217;ll have to request access from Twitter Support. If you&#8217;re granted access, you&#8217;ll be able to reset your password. Once you&#8217;re able to log in, follow the prompts to complete the form. If the problem was not your fault, make sure to explain your mistake in the &#8220;Description of Problem&#8221; field. Then, click Submit.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to wait for a week or longer to unfreeze your suspended Twitter account, you can do so now. Once you&#8217;ve logged in to your account, you&#8217;ll be prompted to confirm your decision to deactivate your suspended account. While this isn&#8217;t the best option, it is an option you may have if your account is in violation of Twitter&#8217;s terms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_suspended_twitter_account_without_logging_in\"><\/span>How to delete a suspended twitter account without logging in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been banned by Twitter, you may be wondering how to delete an old suspended Twitter account. In some cases, the account was suspended because of inconsistencies in its details. For example, a user&#8217;s username is visible instead of their tweet feed. To reinstate the account, you must first remove the suspension and then follow the user again. In addition, the suspended account won&#8217;t show up on anyone else&#8217;s timeline.<\/p>\n<p>Once the account is suspended, you can try to un-suspend it by following the instructions on the lock page. Then, you can try appealing to the Twitter team and have your account unlocked. In some cases, the team will unlock your account after a review. If this doesn&#8217;t work, you&#8217;ll have to take another step to delete your account. Fortunately, there are a few ways to remove your suspended account.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must deactivate the account from your computer. You can&#8217;t do this from a mobile phone. If the account keeps re-activating, it&#8217;s likely hacked. If you still can&#8217;t log in to your Twitter account, change your password. Otherwise, you may want to contact Twitter&#8217;s support team. You&#8217;ll probably have to wait up to 30 days for your account to be permanently deleted.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lN4BBOORdgM\" width=\"373\" height=\"208\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete an Old Twitter Account You Can&#8217;t Access If you&#8217;re wondering how to delete an old Twitter account that you can&#8217;t access, read this article!
