If you&#8217;ve opted to delete your account, you can also read about reactivating your account if you&#8217;ve been away for more than thirty days. In any case, you may want to consider deactivating your Twitter account for the sake of privacy. However, if you&#8217;ve decided to delete it for good, there are several steps you must take before you do.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivating_a_deactivated_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Reactivating a deactivated Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reactivating a permanently deleted Twitter account is possible, but only after the user has logged in at least 30 days before the deactivation period expires. To reactivate an account, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate your account, log in to Twitter with the same username and password you used to create the account. Twitter will ask you to confirm that you want to reactivate your account. Click &#8216;yes&#8217; to confirm your decision. If you have been banned from Twitter, you can also appeal this decision. The process of appealing a suspended account is time-consuming, but it can help you get your account back.<\/p>\n<p>Once your account has been deactivated for 30 days, you can reactivate it for another thirty days. However, you should be aware that deactivating your account will permanently delete all your data. You can also change your Twitter username or email address to fit your new business. You can change your account details in settings. If you wish to delete the account, you must wait at least 30 days. If you are unable to reactivate it within 30 days, Twitter will delete the account.<\/p>\n<p>You can also reactivate a permanently deleted Twitter account by using third-party apps. Just remember to create an archive of all your tweets before you remove them. Then, just log in to Twitter again and click on &#8216;Settings and privacy&#8217;. You&#8217;ll see a list of options. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the reactivation period, your account will remain active for 30 days or 12 months.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_a_deactivated_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Deleting a deactivated Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do I delete a deactivated Twitter account? You may be wondering if it&#8217;s even possible. First, if your account was deactivated, you must change your email address and username. If you do, you will receive an email confirming your request. Next, enter the code in the confirmation box, and then tap the &#8220;Deactivate Account&#8221; button. Twitter will send you an email to confirm your request.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, Twitter may need further information to complete the process of deactivation. Then, you can enter the additional information required to complete the process and sign in again. After confirming your account, you can select &#8220;Deactivate my account&#8221;. After 30 days, your account will be permanently deleted, so you should choose a new password before deleting it. If you do not, your account will continue to appear in search results.<\/p>\n<p>After 30 days, Twitter will delete your account. Once you delete your account, all your Tweets will be deleted forever. If you want to reactivate your account, you must request a download of your data first. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll have to create a new account. Make sure you request the data download before deactivating your account. That&#8217;s it! You&#8217;re all done!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_a_deactivated_Twitter_account_after_30_days\"><\/span>Deleting a deactivated Twitter account after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter has a policy where you can delete your account after 30 days, but there is a way to regain your account. First, you must prove your identity by filling out a form with specific information. If any information is incomplete or missing, you will be unable to recover your account. Twitter does not delete accounts permanently, but they may suspend them for violating the rules. Your tweets will no longer be available, so it&#8217;s best to backup your data before deleting any information.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an email address linked to your Twitter account, you can reactivate your account to reclaim your followers. You can send private messages to anyone who is following you, and it will appear in search results as well as in other people&#8217;s followers&#8217; lists. But you have to be quick to reactivate your account! Otherwise, you&#8217;ll have to wait another 30 days to get your account back up and running again.<\/p>\n<p>Once your account has been deactivated, you must confirm that you want to delete it by entering your password and confirming. If you accidentally click on the &#8220;Delete my account&#8221; button, you can still reactivate your account within 30 days. This process is not the easiest, but it protects your privacy and prevents other people from viewing your tweets. If you wish to reactivate your account, you need to change your email address and password.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qpr3hZPnBcQ\" height=\"244\" width=\"436\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Permanently Delete My Twitter Account?
