This will deactivate your account
You’re about to start the process of deactivating your Twitter account. Your display name, @username, and public profile will no longer be viewable on Twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, or Twitter for Android.
What else you should know
You can restore your Twitter account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated for up to 30 days after deactivation.
Some account information may still be available in search engines, such as Google or Bing. Learn more
If you just want to change your @username, you don’t need to deactivate your account — edit it in your settings.
To use your current @username or email address with a different Twitter account, change them before you deactivate this account.
If you want to download your Twitter data, you’ll need to complete both the request and download process before deactivating your account. Links to download your data cannot be sent to deactivated accounts.
