How to deactivate a Twitch account

If you only want to stay away from Twitch for a while, you can deactivate your account. So the platform will hide your profile and you won’t be able to use it at all unless you choose to activate it again. This is an interesting option for those thinking of reusing the platform at another time.

Before performing the procedure below, I must remind you that you must terminate any Twitch Prime subscriptions to ensure that no amount is charged while your account is disabled.

That said, follow the instructions below to learn how to deactivate a Twitch account:

1. Access twitch.tv on your computer — the process cannot be done in the Android or iPhone (iOS) application;
2. Click “Login” in the upper right corner and log in to Twitch;
3. Click the account icon in the upper-right corner and then “Settings”;
4. Go down the page to the “Disabling your Twitch account” section;
5. Click “Disable account”;
6. If you want, you can explain the reason for the deactivation or simply click the “Disable account” button to close.

Once the account is deactivated, you will be disconnected from Twitch and all activities will be paused. To reactivate it, simply log in again using the login data and click the “Reactivate” option in the notification that will appear on the screen.

How to delete a Twitch account

By deactivating your account, you can reactivate it at any time, but if you want to delete it completely, Twitch also offers this option. Remember that all data will be deleted and the platform will release your ID to other users, so be sure of this decision before performing the procedure below:

1. Go twitch.tv/user/delete-account – if you’re not signed in, you’ll need to sign in;
2. Explain the reason for the deletion or simply click “Delete account”.

Okay, now you know how to deactivate or delete your Twitch account. See also How to delete a Nintendo Switch account.
