While you can reactivate your account anytime, Twitter may temporarily disable this feature during maintenance. If you are nearing the 30-day deadline, you should contact Twitter support so that they can help you restore your data. After all, you didn&#8217;t delete all your tweets &#8211; you just deleted your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_reactivate_a_deactivated_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Can you reactivate a deactivated Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter allows users to reactivate deleted accounts within 30 days of the deactivation. If an account has been deactivated for 30 days, the assigned email address and username are still associated with the account. To reactivate your account, follow these steps. First, sign in to your Twitter account by typing in your email address and password. Next, tap the profile icon.<\/p>\n<p>You must have reached the 30-day limit before you can request reactivation. You can try logging in again later or visit the Restore account help page. If reactivation does not work, Twitter might be temporarily disabled. If you are close to the 30-day period, contact Twitter support and request help. You can also raise the issue with the help desk if you run into trouble.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve left Twitter for more than 30 days, you&#8217;ll be sent to the queue for permanent deletion. During that time, you cannot use your Twitter username in any new accounts. However, it will still appear in external Web searches. Reactivating your account will restore all your account details, but you won&#8217;t get all your followers back right away. You&#8217;ll be notified if any followers have unfollowed you, but you&#8217;re not locked out of the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_archive_old_tweets\"><\/span>Can you archive old tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The question of how to remove your Twitter history may seem like a practical one. After all, it&#8217;s easy to pull old tweets out of context and use them against you. In addition, many companies use social media background checks to keep an eye on their employees. However, past tweets may include private information. Fortunately, there are several ways to remove old tweets from your account without deleting them completely.<\/p>\n<p>The first way is to use the Twitter archive feature. You can request to download old tweets from the service, and the archive will take about 24 hours. After you&#8217;ve requested the archive, you&#8217;ll receive a mobile push notification on the Twitter mobile app and an email with a link to the archive. This link will take you to the Twitter website, where you can download the archive.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to download the entire Twitter archive, including retweets, deleted tweets, and more. You can store this archive on your computer or on a cloud storage service. To access this feature, sign in to your profile and go to More. After clicking on More, click on Settings and privacy. You&#8217;ll receive an in-app notification when the archive is ready.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_delete_a_deactivated_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Can you delete a deactivated Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering how to remove a deactivated Twitter account, this article will walk you through the steps. The first step is to log into the full site of Twitter. You won&#8217;t find a deactivation link on the Twitter app, but you can access your account settings and privacy settings by scrolling down to the bottom of the page. From there, select &#8216;Settings&#8217; and then &#8216;Privacy&#8217;. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the &#8216;Deactivate my account&#8217; link. Once you have completed this step, you&#8217;ll be redirected to a confirmation page.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve confirmed your deletion request, you should note that your account won&#8217;t appear in your follower list or your DMs. While you can restore deleted DMs and posts, your account will no longer appear in the feeds of your followers. You may be able to see your posts on other sites, but they won&#8217;t be visible to other users. This includes retweeted, liked, and quoted content. You&#8217;ll be notified if a third-party website embeds the content.<\/p>\n<p>After 30 days, Twitter will remove your account, but you can still use the username and password. The only thing you&#8217;ll lose is the tweets you have sent, but you won&#8217;t lose them if you reactivate the account. You may also want to download the entire archive of tweets to read later. The entire archive can be found in a nicely formatted HTML file.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"253\" width=\"453\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Happens After 30 Days of Deactivating Twitter?
