To delete your Twitter (X) account, you must first deactivate it. 

Deactivation initiates a 30-day waiting period during which you can decide if you would like to reactivate your account. 

Once the waiting period has concluded and you have not logged into your Twitter (X) account during that time, your Twitter (X) account will be deleted permanently.
