You can choose to remove your tweets from the website completely, change your username and email address, or even deactivate your account. However, you must wait several days to reactivate your account. The good news is that you can still log in if you wish to reactivate your account. This article discusses the steps to take to deactivate your Twitter account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_tweets_from_prying_eyes\"><\/span>Remove tweets from prying eyes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might be wondering how to remove tweets from prying eyes. This is easier than it sounds! You simply have to go into the Twitter website and click on &#8220;Log in&#8221;. Type in your username, e-mail address, and password to login. You will then receive an e-mail with information on how to reset your password. Next, click on the thumbnail picture next to &#8220;Tweet.&#8221; From there, select &#8220;Settings and privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_username_and_email_address_before_deactivating_account\"><\/span>Change username and email address before deactivating account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you deactivate your Twitter account, you should first change your email address and username. This prevents other people from signing up with the same username, so you&#8217;ll need to choose a new one. You can also download the full Twitter archive to a computer and view it in an attractive HTML file. To delete your Twitter account, go to Settings &gt; Account. Then, tap the &#8220;deactivate account&#8221; option.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve changed your email address and username, you can deactivate your account. However, before you can do so, you must confirm that you are the owner of the new email address. Twitter will send you a confirmation email alerting you to update your account information. After you&#8217;ve confirmed your new email address, you&#8217;ll have 30 days before your data is permanently deleted. If you don&#8217;t receive an email within this timeframe, you can reactivate your account by logging back in with your old account and new email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deactivate_account_after_30_days\"><\/span>Deactivate account after 30 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have decided to deactivate your Twitter account after 30 days, it will be permanently deleted from Twitter&#8217;s system. This means you will not be able to access your profile or handle, but you can still save old Tweets and DMs. But once your account is deactivated, you will not be able to use the same username for another account. You will need to create a new account. If you used the same username in the past, you may be able to restore it.<\/p>\n<p>To deactivate your Twitter account, you must stay away for 30 days. Once you&#8217;ve reached that period, you can reactivate your account again. You will need to follow the steps listed above to recreate your account. Just remember to create an archive of your tweets to preserve your privacy and security. Also, if you have deleted a tweet, Twitter will not be able to send it to the user&#8217;s followers, so make sure that you&#8217;re not tweeting anything important.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactivate_deactivated_account\"><\/span>Reactivate deactivated account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To reactivate deactivated Twitter account, you must first log into the site. Log in using your email account. Often times, the account was deleted for reasons beyond your control. Using your email account to log in to Twitter will make the process easier. Just type in your username, password and email address. After entering this information, click on &#8216;Yes, reactivate my account&#8217;. You will be asked to confirm the request to reactivate your account. Then, you will be logged into the site like you normally would.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to reactivate deactivated Twitter account, you can follow the simple steps outlined below. The process is simple, but can take a few days if your account has been inactive for a long time. The only downside is that deactivating an account from Twitter is not as easy as deleting it from Facebook. So, if you&#8217;ve gotten too accustomed to the site, you should follow step-by-step instructions to make the process easier. However, you should note that deactivating your account will only be possible through the website; it is not possible to delete your account from the mobile app.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rJdoizJSX4\" width=\"480\" height=\"268\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Cancel Twitter?
