    Just open the app, click on your Profile section on the bottom right. From there, click the three lines at the top right, then Settings and Privacy, followed by Account. At the bottom there is Deactivate or delete account. A few onscreen messages will allow you to download your TikTok data and finally confirm your choice.

    After deactivating or deleting an account, your profile won’t show up and people can’t see your videos. Some DMs may not delete entirely, and users have reported still being able to find accounts and videos through search services outside of TikTok.

    Even though your account is now deactivated, your data is not fully deleted for 30 days, and logging in again might reactivate the account. If you really want to leave, delete the app from your phone and stay away for at least 30 days.

    If you want to download your data before nuking your profile, go into your profile and tap the three-line hamburger menu. Go into Settings and privacy, then Account, then Download your data (it’s right above the delete option.) From there you can choose what you want and then hit Request Data. Once your data is ready, it will be available for you to download for four days, so snap it up quick.

    X

    Since Elon Musk bought Twitter, gutted its workforce, and renamed the site to X, users have made a grand exodus to other social sites. Despite the steep drop in user numbers, millions remain on the platform as it has become a gleeful stomping ground for Musk and his sexy and antisemetic AI bots. (Yes, really.)

    If X no longer marks the spot, you can deactivate your account in a matter of clicks.

    From the Home page on the desktop, tap into the More option. On mobile, tap your profile picture. Then go to Settings and Privacy. There you’ll find the option to Deactivate your account. Just above that, there is a Download an archive of your data option, which will let you save a copy of all your tweets (Posts? X’s?) before you deactivate. Both downloading and deactivation will require your password and a final confirmation to do the deed. If you want to salt the Earth after your emigration, you can also delete all your old Tweets using third party apps like TweetDelete. (Some of these services are free, some offer free and paid tiers.)

    Your data isn’t actually deleted for at least another 30 days once you deactivated your account. This window gives you the opportunity to revive your account within that period if you choose. Once the reactivation period is up, X will begin deleting your account. According to the company’s current Privacy Policy, this could take a few weeks and certain information is still preserved even after your deletion. The company says it will retain communications like emails with the company, cookies it collects, and information shared by ads or business partners for anywhere between 12 and 18 months.

    Bluesky

    Maybe the professional posters on Bluesky just aren’t funny enough for you. Maybe it doesn’t quite hit the same when you aren’t inundated by crypto bros and chatbots all day.

    If you want to delete your Bluesky account there are a couple quick steps. In a desktop browser, look for Settings in the sidebar to the left of your feed. On mobile, from the home page, go to the hamburger menu at the top left and tap that. Go to Settings. Go to Account. There, in bright red text, will be options for Deactivate account and Delete account.
