To do this, sign in to Twitter using a web browser and select the &#8216;Settings&#8217; menu. In the &#8216;Account Information&#8217; section, click &#8216;Deactivate Account&#8217; to choose your deactivation reason. You can also delete your former Twitter username or your current email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_reactivate_a_deactivated_account\"><\/span>Can you reactivate a deactivated account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering whether you can reactivate a deactivated account on Twitter, the answer is yes. The good news is that the process is easy, and you can do it from the comfort of your web browser. However, keep in mind that Twitter may temporarily disable account reactivation during site maintenance. If you&#8217;re close to the 30-day deactivation limit, you&#8217;ll want to check out the Restore account support page. Alternatively, you can raise the issue with Twitter&#8217;s customer service team.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in reactivating a deactivated Twitter account is to log into the website using the login credentials that you used when you first signed up. These are usually your email address, username, and password. After logging in, you&#8217;ll be prompted to confirm the reactivation. The website will display a message with the date when the account was deactivated, as well as the time period within which it is able to be reactivated. Once this has been done, you can log into your account as normal.<\/p>\n<p>You can also try to reactivate your account before the reactivation period ends. You can do this on your computer&#8217;s web browser by signing in and selecting the settings option. Once you sign in, you can choose whether you&#8217;d like to delete your account for good or use it again. If you&#8217;ve deleted your account, you may want to create a copy of your tweets before deleting it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided to reactivate a deactivated account, make sure you&#8217;ve notified your followers. If you&#8217;re not notified immediately, you&#8217;ll see an account in their inbox and they can send you a private message. If your account has not been removed yet, don&#8217;t worry; it will come back to life after about 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_delete_a_deactivated_account\"><\/span>Can you delete a deactivated account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered, &#8220;Can you delete a deactivated Twitter account?&#8221; you&#8217;re not alone. Twitter users have many different reasons for deactivating their accounts. You can do so for personal reasons or for business reasons. You may want to change the username and email address to one that better represents your business. The settings section of your account will allow you to change the details of your account.<\/p>\n<p>To delete your account, first sign in to Twitter. You won&#8217;t find a deactivation link in the app, so you&#8217;ll have to visit the full website. After you&#8217;ve signed in, click the Settings and Privacy tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click the &#8216;Deactivate my account&#8217; link and then confirm your decision to deactivate your account. Once you confirm your decision, you will no longer be able to sign in to your Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>To reactivate your account, follow the instructions provided by Twitter. To reactivate your account, first change your username. In case of deactivation, you can also change the email address. If you&#8217;ve changed your email address, be sure to confirm your change. Once you&#8217;ve done that, click the &#8216;Deactivate Account&#8217; button on your Twitter homepage. You&#8217;ll then be redirected to your timeline. If you&#8217;d like to keep your account active, it is recommended that you change the email address and username before you do so.<\/p>\n<p>You can also download your Twitter account archive. You can do this from your settings page or via an email notification. After 30 days, you won&#8217;t be able to access your account again. However, if you want to restore your account, you have to sign in again. If you do this, make sure to archive your tweets and any other relevant information before deleting your account. If you still want to keep your old account information, you can reactivate it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"202\" width=\"361\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qpr3hZPnBcQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can You Delete a Deactivated Twitter Account?
