However, there isn't a straightforward way to remove your account from the platform. Your account might be temporarily deactivated.

Your username (or "handle") and public profile will no longer be accessible on X.com, X for iOS, or the X app for Android if you deactivate your X account.

Ways to Delete or Deactivate Your X Account

- Open your X account and log in.
- In the upper right corner of the X app, click on your profile image.
- Select "Settings and privacy" from the menu that appears.
- Navigate to the account settings.
- Click "Deactivate your account" after scrolling down.
- X will request that you click the button to confirm the deactivation.
- Enter the password for your account to verify the procedure.
- We've canceled your X account.

Your X account, your posts, and your followers will not be visible to others. That being said, X offers you the opportunity to reactivate your account during this period by logging in and beginning to use it once more.

Nevertheless, your X account is completely erased following the 30-day deactivation period. You notify us that you wish to permanently deactivate your X account when you don't check in within the 30-day period.
