You must confirm that you want to reactivate your account before the cancellation takes effect. This process can take several days. To find out how long it takes, read on. This article will also tell you how to change your username and email address before your account is deactivated. Then you can reactivate your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivation_period\"><\/span>Reactivation period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Deactivating your Twitter account is a convenient option for people who don&#8217;t need to stay on top of the site all the time. However, a deactivated account may not be as useful to you as deleting it. It removes all of your posts and information from the site, so your following numbers may fluctuate. This process can take a few minutes or even a few days, depending on your prolific presence on the site.<\/p>\n<p>To deactivate your Twitter account, you will need to confirm your email address and password. Twitter will then ask you to confirm that you are sure you want to deactivate your account. Click on the option titled &#8216;Deactivate your account&#8217;. Follow the instructions to confirm the process. You should see a screen with a time limit of 30 days. Click on the deactivation period to complete the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_content_from_your_account\"><\/span>Removing content from your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to remove a certain piece of content on Twitter, you can do so by making your account private. This allows only your followers to see your tweets, and other people can&#8217;t access them through search engines. Making your account private is also the fastest way to delete any Tweets you don&#8217;t want seen by the public. To do this, sign in to your Twitter account via a web browser, click &#8220;More&#8221; on the top right corner, then &#8220;Account information.&#8221; Enter your password and click the box next to &#8220;Protect my Tweets.&#8221; You can also do this with your Twitter mobile app by going to Settings &gt; Privacy and Safety.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether or not you decide to delete your Tweets, it may take up to 30 days for Twitter to completely remove your tweets from their system. However, since you&#8217;ll likely want to reactivate your account again at some point, this grace period allows you to delete content from your Twitter account. To reactivate your account, log into your Twitter account and paste the Twitter URL into the box provided. Then, click the red &#8220;Remove&#8221; button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_username_before_deactivation\"><\/span>Changing your username before deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are concerned that your current username may be causing you problems, you should change it before deactivating your account. This process is simple: First, you must go to the Account section. Click the three-dot menu icon. Then, click Settings. You should change your password, too. Your new username will be visible to others and any watchers. When you deactivate your account, you cannot claim your old username, so make sure to change it now.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter recommends that you change your username before deactivating your account. When you change your email address or username, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your changes. Enter the new email address and password and tap the &#8220;Deactivate Account&#8221; button to confirm the request. If you want to switch accounts, you can also go to your account settings and change your username. Make sure to follow the directions carefully or you could risk deactivation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_email_address_before_deactivation\"><\/span>Changing your email address before deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before deactivating your Twitter account, you should change your email address and username. Once you&#8217;ve made these changes, Twitter will send you a confirmation email to confirm your request. Enter your password and tap the &#8220;Deactivate my account&#8221; button to complete the process. Changing your email address before deactivation is recommended, but not necessary. Changing your email address will not affect the privacy settings of your Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>To deactivate your Twitter account, go to your account page. Tap the More menu on the top right corner and then select Settings and privacy. Scroll down to the bottom and select the &#8220;Deactivate account.&#8221; A confirmation email will appear. Click the link to confirm your decision and deactivate your account. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed your decision, you&#8217;ll be removed from Twitter. You can always reactivate your account within 30 days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_password_before_deactivation\"><\/span>Changing your password before deactivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your password before deactivation is critical. While deactivating your account does not delete your data, you may want to change it to prevent unauthorized access. For example, you may change your display name, remove photos and crypto keys, or type in a reason for deactivation. After deactivation, you can close any other services attached to your Ubuntu One account. While deactivating your account will remove your data from all of these services, they do not remove it from your computer. To permanently delete your account, you must visit the Delete My Account page.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" width=\"423\" height=\"236\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Cancel Twitter?
