Twitter is a fun medium to interact with your followers, read funny memes, follow journalists for breaking news and updates, and so on. However, at times, the micro-blogging medium becomes really toxic because of internet tolls and abusive tweets. Thankfully, there is a way to delete your Twitter account.

Whether you want to take a small break from Twitter or leave the platform permanently, here's a quick guide on how to say goodbye to the micro-blogging platform.

Know the difference between deactivating and deleting your account

Look, there is a difference between temporarily deactivating your account and permanently deleting it. The moment you deactivate your Twitter account, Twitter will remove your data from its site. Your information will be stored for 30 days before Twitter permanently deletes your account and all the information associated with it from its servers. Remember: After 30 days, you won't be able to reactivate your Twitter account. Once deactivated your username, passwords, profiles will no longer be visible. However, in case you want to rejoin Twitter before the 30-day period ends, you can reactive your account.

If you are done with Twitter, consider deleting your account permanently.
