Go to the accounts portal and access the user name and password of the account you want to delete. (Save this information for later in case you decide to reactivate your account.) Your account will be deactivated for 30 days after you’ve completed the process of deleting it.

How to turn off your Snapchat account for a short time. To temporarily disable your Snapchat account, go to the Snap accounts portal website and select Delete Account from the drop-down menu. Don’t worry, there’s a catch: Before it gets deleted permanently, Snapchat will deactivate your account for 30 days.

To remove Snapchat, go to the account page and provide your username (or email) and password. You may also terminate your membership by visiting Snapchat.com and clicking “Support” below the site. Select “My Account & Security” on the left side of the Support page, then “Delete My Account.”

To cancel your Snapchat account, go to “Account & Security,” select “Delete My Account,” then follow the on-screen instructions.

After 30 days, if you haven’t used it, Snapchat will delete a dormant account. If you’d like to keep your account active indefinitely, go here for more information.
