Deleting is permanent, so deactivating is safer if you might return.
Deactivate vs delete
Deactivating hides your profile and you can return later. Deleting removes the account permanently and is not reversible.
Both are done from account settings.
Before you close it
Cancel any active subscriptions you pay for, withdraw your remaining balance, and save records you need (e.g., for tax).
If an agency manages the account, confirm who controls closure.
