Deactivating your account permanently removes your profile and information from Twitter. Deactivation is not available on mobile devices and must be done by accessing Twitter.com on the web.
Below is the message you will have to confirm before deactivating your account:
Before you deactivate your account, you should know:
Note: We change your settings immediately, and any/all old links appearing in a Google or other search index thus lead to error pages. However, these old links appear because Google and other search engines have cached old content in their search index. Twitter has no control over this, but you can send them a request to take it down.
To restore an accidentally or wrongfully deactivated account, please read our article About Account Reactivation.
