How do I delete my Twitter account and all its tweets and posts/data?

I remember the day I decided to delete my Twitter account like it was yesterday. After nearly a decade of tweets, follows, likes, and retweets, it felt like the right time to say goodbye to my old digital self. The final push came when I read about a security issue with Twitter keeping user data even after deactivation. The thought of my information lingering in cyberspace made me uneasy. This is the story of how I successfully deleted my Twitter account and erased all my tweets and data.

The Decision

It all started when I realized my Twitter feed no longer reflected who I am today. Back in 2018, when I first created my account, I was a different person with different interests and opinions. Over the years, my feed had become a chaotic mix of outdated thoughts, forgotten interactions, and endless notifications. The idea of a fresh start became increasingly appealing. Over the years, I began to feel overwhelmed by the accumulated clutter and noise.

The problem with deleting a Twitter account

Initially, I thought deleting my account directly from Twitter would be straightforward. I logged into my account, navigated to the settings, and found the option to deactivate. But as I read the fine print, I realized deactivation wasn’t enough. Deactivating my account wouldn’t immediately erase my tweets and data; it would only hide my profile for 30 days before permanent deletion. This didn’t feel satisfactory – I wanted everything gone right away.

The search for a solution

I began searching for a way to permanently delete all my tweets and data instantly. My first stop was Twitter’s help center, but the solutions were limited. I tried using the built-in tweet deletion tools, but with thousands of tweets, this was impractical and time-consuming. I needed something more efficient and comprehensive.

During my search, I came across Circleboom Twitter, a tool that promised to help manage and delete tweets in bulk. Curious, I decided to give it a try. The setup was simple: I logged into Circleboom with my Twitter credentials, and within minutes, I was able to access all my tweets.

The process was swift, and my Twitter history was wiped clean in no time.

3. Click "Deactivate Your Account.": Scroll down to the option "Deactivate your account." Click on it.

5. 30-Day Grace Period: Twitter gives you a 30-day grace period to change your mind. If you log back into your account within these 30 days, your account will be reactivated, and all your data will be restored.

After completing the process, I felt a sense of relief. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Deleting my Twitter account and all its data allowed me to move forward without the digital baggage of the past. It was a liberating experience, and I was ready for a fresh start.
