You do not need to deactivate your Twitter account to change your username or email address. However, if you want to change your username, you must confirm the change in your email address. You will need to confirm the new email address before the account is deactivated. You can also change the URL of your Twitter account if you wish to remove your tweets from the search engine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_your_tweets_removed_from_Google\"><\/span>How to get your tweets removed from Google<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can request to remove your Tweets from Google. While Twitter will remove Tweets from search results, your deactivated profile and deleted Tweets will remain in Google&#8217;s cache. You can also request that Google remove tweets through the content removal service. If you are not ready to wait for that, you can try removing your tweets by using the Google Search Console.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to download old tweets or other information before you delete your account, you should download the history. If you are ever accused of saying something you didn&#8217;t mean, or if you need to remember the information you shared in your tweets, you can go back and read the archive. Go to the account settings page and click on the archive download link. Follow the instructions in the email you receive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reactivate_a_deactivated_Twitter_account\"><\/span>How to reactivate a deactivated Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have lost your Twitter account, you may be wondering how to reactivate a permanently deleted account. You can request to reactivate your account, but you need to do so within 30 days of the deletion date. To reactivate your account, first contact Twitter support. They will assist you in recovering your account, but you will not have access to any of your previous status updates.<\/p>\n<p>The process of restoring your account is generally easy, but you may experience some problems if you have not followed the steps correctly. First, if your Twitter account is linked to another email account, you will need to log in to your Gmail account. When you do so, be sure to indicate the reason for your deactivated account. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can then log back into Twitter. You&#8217;ll notice that you have fewer followers and likes, but do not worry; Twitter will restore your account in 72 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_Twitter_account_after_30_days\"><\/span>How to delete a Twitter account after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to permanently delete your Twitter account, you must leave it inactive for at least 30 days. In addition, you will have to disconnect all of your Twitter apps and services so that you can&#8217;t use it again. Although this method is time-consuming, it will protect your privacy. After 30 days, Twitter will delete your account, but you can still use your username and your previous Tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you&#8217;ll need to re-activate your account if you want to use the same username and email address. You&#8217;ll also be unable to re-use the same username and email address after the deactivation period, and some Tweets and profiles will remain in the internet archives. It is possible, but not likely, that your Twitter account will remain indefinitely without any trace.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_delete_a_Twitter_account_from_third-party_apps\"><\/span>How to delete a Twitter account from third-party apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Delete your Twitter account from third-party apps by following the steps listed below. Deleted accounts will remain deactivated for 30 days. However, you can always reactivate your account by reversing the process. Depending on your settings, this process may take as long as a year. Third-party apps can reactivate your Twitter account if they have access to your account before the 30-day period has expired.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve finished deactivating your account, you&#8217;ll be prompted to re-enter your password. Next, select Deactivate from the pop-up that appears. This will remove all your previous tweets from your account. Once the process is complete, you can sign into Twitter on your computer or other device and resume your old habits. It&#8217;ll take up to 30 days before your old account can be restored, but if you decide to use it again, you can just use the username and password to sign in again.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" width=\"430\" height=\"240\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Permanently Delete a Twitter Account?
