If there is a topic you are interested in and you want to talk to like-minded people about the same topic, there is no better place to find or connect with them than X (formerly Twitter). However, Twitter has changed a lot since Elon Musk's acquisition and rebranding of X, and if you no longer like X because you have found better issues or you want to get rid of Twitter addiction, you should delete your X account. Here is how you can delete your X/Twitter account without any hassle.
Your deletion X Deleting the account means that all your tweets and data will also be deleted. However, if you plan on taking a break from the platform, you may want to deactivate or restrict your account instead. Once deactivated, it will be permanently deleted if you don't log back in in 30 days. Restricting your account restricts your posts and locks them so no one can see them.
