We will only retain your user data for 30 days and then it will be permanently deleted. You can reactivate your account at any point within 30 days of deactivation by logging back in.
You don't need to deactivate your account to change your username or Twitter URL. You can change it on the settings page. All @replies and followers will remain unchanged.
If you want to use this account's username or email address on another Twitter account, change it before you deactivate. Until the user data is permanently deleted, that information won't be available for use.
Your account should be removed from Twitter within a few minutes, but some content may be viewable on twitter.com for a few days after deactivation.
We have no control over content indexed by search engines like Google.
