Congratulations on your enlightened attitude! If more people were focused on their own business, not buying up intellectual property rightly owned by a different firm with the hope of making some money through scalping, squatting or similar, the Internet would be a far different place.

It’s interesting how difficult some modern sites make it to cancel an account, actually. It’s almost like they don’t want to see you go (which might well be something to do with inflating user numbers, but i wouldn’t accuse any sites of having huge numbers of users through gaming or manipulation. Would I?

Twitter is somewhere in the middle: there is a “cancel my account” link, but it’s not particularly easy to find. Then again, for the vast majority of users, it’s not something they want to do anyway.

Okay. So here’s what you do! First, log in to the Web interface to Twitter and look on the top right. You’ll see:


Click on “Settings” and make sure you’re in the “Accounts” tab…


Now scroll down to the very, very bottom and you’ll find a wholly unremarkable link on the left side:


Not too hard, really. Now, click on “Delete my account” and…


No, really, I really do want to cancel or delete my Twitter account, guys, I’m not just experimenting, but really want to do it.

To prove it, I read all the small print and commentary above, then take the bold – and irreversible – step of clicking on “Okay, fine, delete my account”.

Next thing you know, you’re on the Twitter home page and your account has been deleted and the Twitter ID you had is back in the available pool.

5. Click “Deactivate my account”

Thinking to Deactivating your account?

Four Things you should know Before Deactivating your Twitter account:

• Twitter will hang on to your data for 30 days after you delete your account, so you will have 30 days to change your mind and reactivate it. After 30 days, it’s gone forever. (so they say)
• If you simply want to change your username, you don’t have to delete your entire Twitter account. You can make this change easily in the settings.
• Google collects and indexes most of the content on Twitter, so it’s possible that some of your content will live on in other corners of the internet, even after you delete your account. 
• Currently, Twitter only allows you to delete your Twitter account via twitter.com, so it is best done on your desktop or laptop computer. (unless you’re really comfortable using your mobile browser)

Reason to Delete Twitter
I’m extremely annoyed by the increase in tech companies dumbing down their privacy policies over time to make them “easier to understand.” The results I’ve seen so far with Facebook and Google are more ambiguous, less transparent, and more questionable policies.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Twitter is anywhere near as unethical as Facebook, but why do they need to hang onto all of your personally identifiable information for 18 months? This might not seem like a problem, but here is where it starts to get tricky. About 4 months ago Twitter saw a recoil from mobile users because when you let Twitter scan your mobile phone, Twitter uploads all of your contacts phone numbers, email addresses and addresses to their servers. Now that Twitter has this data, they can hang onto it for as long they want. Hopefully it’s only 18 months as stated in the privacy policy regarding other data. If you work in any type of occupation where client confidentiality is important, or legally obligated, this is a big problem. Now You may need to deactivate Twitter Account. Please proceed.


So You we have solved your problem as you asked:
