Anytime you’ve stopped using Twitter service, or you are experiencing problems while using their services, or you are looking to take a break, you may wish to delete Twitter. In this article, you will see the simple process to Delete a Twitter Account. In addition to deleting your Twitter.com account permanently, you will also learn how to delete all tweets, images, followers, and likes, and as well how to delete older Tweets.
It’s not possible to delete Twitter accounts from within the app. You must sign into your Twitter account on a computer, or from your mobile device’s web browser before you will be able to delete your Twitter account.
After that, Twitter will automatically remove your profile and all associated activity from their database and your Twitter page will no longer be accessible again.
Once you delete a Twitter Account, Twitter will not delete your account completely, until after 30 days. So, in case you change your mind and wish to come back again, you can still sign in to the account during that period. Once you login, the account will be reinstated or fully restored.

So, all tweets, images, followers, and likes will be deleted completely from Twitter’s servers.
