Delete a Twitter account permanently What happens after deactivating a Twitter account? from a computer From the mobile application
It is not at all abnormal to get tired of a social network and leave it behind as quickly as possible. In these cases it is advisable to delete the Twitter account permanently (if we are sure that we will never use it again) this is mostly for privacy and security reasons ; Let's remember that social networks store too much personal data, much of which we should never share on a social network..
Delete a Twitter account permanently
Luckily, deleting or removing a Twitter account forever requires a few steps. In order to delete it, we are going to have to deactivate it, this is what Twitter says it means by deletion. When we deactivate it, everything that has to do with this profile on the social network (comments, tweets, etc.) will immediately disappear. Once we deactivate it, for it to be permanently deleted, 30 days must pass.

What happens after deactivating a Twitter account?
After confirming the deactivation of the account, everything related to it will be hidden on the social network, no one will have access or be able to view anything we have done..
But for the account to be permanently deleted, we are going to have to wait 30 days without logging in. Should we log in again within these 30 days, the account will be reactivated and will continue to function as usual.
This is quite a good thing, in case we regret it and want to recover our account, we will have a month to do so..
