• Do you plan to set up a new Twitter account with your existing username or email address? If so, you must do so before deactivating your account.
• Do you want to save some information on your Twitter account? In this case, you should request your saved data before proceeding with the deactivation process.
• Do you just want to get rid of tons of tweets, but can't face the hassle of deleting them one by one? Instead of deleting your account and starting over, you can use an app like TweetDelete to delete your tweets in bulk.
