You must know that X gives you two options—deactivation and deletion.

[{"selector":"#anim-c70ccd0d-32ac-4bc1-a1c9-8c5e4fe57536","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-631999a4-e699-481d-bfbc-b422fcd59045","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8045d0dc-75dc-4d43-9536-2370d02cf733","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Deleting an X account is permanent, while deactivation is temporary.

If you choose to deactivate, your X account won’t be visible on the platform.

[{"selector":"#anim-696d1b79-1ab3-4773-af7b-9a0b6dbdaa91","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8085ef51-ffc6-413a-9e76-433193a8c2d9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24434756-ec7f-4300-8158-0cbce1c64854","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

To delete your account, open X app and tap on the profile icon in the top left.
