Deleting a Twitter account without waiting for the 30-day deactivation period is not possible. Twitter has implemented this waiting period as a safety measure to give users a chance to change their minds and recover their account if they have a change of heart.
However, if you are determined to delete your Twitter account and do not want to wait for 30 days, you can follow these steps:
1. Sign into your Twitter account: Open the Twitter app or visit the Twitter website and sign in using your username and password.
2. Go to Settings and Privacy: Click on your profile picture or the three-dot menu icon in the top navigation bar, and select “Settings and Privacy” from the drop-down menu.
3. Click on Deactivate my Account: In the “Account” tab, scroll down to the bottom and click on the “Deactivate your account” link. Twitter might ask you to re-enter your password for security purposes.
4. Confirm your Decision: Twitter will display information about the consequences of deactivating your account. Read through the information to ensure you understand the implications, and then click on the “Deactivate” button.
5. Enter Your Password: Twitter will prompt you to enter your password again to confirm your decision. Type in your password and click on the “Deactivate Account” button.
6. Uninstall the app: If you have the Twitter app installed on your device, it’s a good idea to uninstall it to avoid any temptations or accidental logins during the 30-day waiting period.
7. Don’t log into your account for 30 days: This is the crucial step. Twitter requires a 30-day waiting period before permanently deleting your account. During this time, avoid logging into your account or performing any actions that could reactivate it.
It’s important to note that if you log into your account or interact with Twitter in any way during the 30-day waiting period, your account reactivation period will reset, and you’ll have to wait another 30 days to delete it permanently.
Remember, deleting your Twitter account is a permanent action, and all your tweets, followers, and other account information will be lost. So, make sure you have backed up any important data before proceeding with the deletion.
While it’s not possible to delete your Twitter account without waiting for 30 days, following the steps outlined above will help you initiate the deletion process. It’s important to adhere to the waiting period and avoid logging into your account during this time.
