If you’re like most people, you probably use social media to keep in touch with friends and family. But if you’re a Facebook user, Twitter or LinkedIn user, or even if you have an account on any of the popular online services, there’s a good chance that your account has been deleted. There are a few ways to delete your account:

  1. Log into your account and click on the “delete my account” link at the top of the page. This will take you to a page where you can choose how to delete your account: by email, by phone, or by writing a letter to Facebook or Twitter (or LinkedIn).
  2. If you’ve already deleted your account but want to keep some of your data, go ahead and save all of your posts and photos before deletion so that they can be restored later.
  3. If deletion is the only way to get rid of your account, go ahead and do it—but be sure to read our tips for deleting social media accounts for more information about how best to go about it.
