Is social media draining your energy lately? Don't worry, we'll tell you how to get rid of them. 

Social media has become a crucial part of modern life, with billions of people using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to connect with friends, family, and the world at large. However, there are many reasons why you might want to delete your social media accounts, whether it's to protect your privacy, reduce distractions, or simply take a break from the endless scroll.

This article will guide you on how you can permanently delete you social media accounts from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 

How to delete your account from Facebook?

Step 1

Before deleting your Facebook account, it's important to make sure you have a copy of all your data. This includes your photos, posts, and messages. You can download all your Facebook data by going to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Your Facebook Information > Download Your Information.

Step 2

Once you have your data, go to the Facebook Help Center and search for "Delete Account." Click on the first result, which will take you to the "Delete Your Account and Information" page.

Step 3

Click on "Delete Account" and follow the instructions. You will be asked to enter your password and complete a security check.

Step 4

After completing the security check, click on "Delete Account." Your account will be deactivated for 30 days, during which you can still reactivate it if you change your mind. If you don't log in during this period, your account will be permanently deleted.

How to delete your account from Twitter?

Step 1

Log in to your Twitter account and click on your profile picture. Select "Settings and Privacy" from the drop-down menu.

Step 2

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "Deactivate Your Account." Read the information on the deactivation page and click on "Deactivate."

Step 3

Enter your password when prompted and click on "Deactivate”. Your account will be deactivated for 30 days, during which you can still reactivate it if you change your mind, just how it was for Facebook. If you don't log in during this period, your account will be permanently deleted.

Step 4

If you want to delete your account permanently without waiting for the 30-day deactivation period, you can contact Twitter support and request a permanent deletion.

How to delete your account from Instagram?

Step 1

Log in to your Instagram account on your desktop or mobile browser. Please note that you cannot delete your account from the Instagram app.

Step 2

Go to your Instagram profile and click on the three horizontal lines at the top right corner.

Step 3

Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.

Step 4

Scroll down and select "Help" at the bottom of the screen.

Step 5

Click on "Help Centre" and search for "Delete Your Account" in the search bar.

Step 6

Click on "Delete Your Account" and then select "How do I delete my account?"

Step 7

You will be taken to the "Delete Your Account" page. Instagram will ask you to provide a reason for deleting your account. Select one from the drop-down menu or write your own.

Step 8

After selecting the reason, you will be prompted to re-enter your password for security purposes.

Step 9

Once you have entered your password, click on "Permanently delete my account." Your account will be deleted, and you will not be able to recover your data.

Please note that if you have a business account on Instagram, you will need to switch to a personal account before deleting your account.
