How to Delete Twitter

Delete Twitter: What will be deleted?

By deleting your Twitter account, you’ll be erasing your profile, photos, posts, videos, and anything else that you’ve personally added to Twitter. You won’t be able to retrieve any of these things. Some information, like direct messages, might still be visible after you’ve deleted your account. After 30 days, you won’t be able to reactivate your account. You must do this within your Twitter account- only deleting the app will not delete your profile.

Twitter doesn’t have a separate procedure for deactivating and deleting your account. You must deactivate account, and then wait 30 days. After this, your account will go from just deactivated to fully deleted.
