After reading my guide on how to use Snapchat, driven by curiosity, you decided to try this particular “photo messaging” system. But now you have realized that it is not an application for you, you would like to delete your account and you do not know how to do it.
No problem. Just like last time I gave you a he to take your first steps in the world of Snapchat, today I'm here to help you leave it. It is a very simple procedure, all you have to do is connect to the website of the service (from a computer or mobile device), enter the login credentials of your account, confirm your password and press a button.
But be careful, what you are about to start is an irreversible process: after deleting the account you will only be able to retrace your steps within 30 days, after which all your personal information, your chats and application preferences will be lost forever ( as well as photos and videos, which are notoriously "disposable"). All clear? Well, then not to get lost in chatter and to see immediately how to delete Snapchat account, it will take you a maximum of 30 seconds to get the job done.

How to reactivate an account on Snapchat
In case of second thoughts, as mentioned above, you can reactivate your Snapchat account by simply opening the application on your smartphone and logging in. When Snapchat asks if you want to restore the account, reply Yes and wait a few minutes. Then try to log in again and you should be able to log into your personal profile.
It is not yet possible to reactivate deactivated Snapchat accounts from a computer. If you try to log in using the credentials of a deactivated profile you are told that it is "unable to find the user".
You have deactivated your Snapchat account for more than 30 days? I'm sorry, but in this case you can't go back and you can't recover your data, but no one is preventing you from registering for the service again. If you want to go back to Snapchat, download the app again on your smartphone (it is agolable for Android and iPhone), start it and press the button Subscribe present on its home screen.
Then fill out the form that is proposed to you by entering name and surname in the appropriate text fields and "tap" on the button Subscribe. On the next screen, enter yours date of birth, presses the button Continue, set the username you want to use on Snapchat and presses on again Continue to choose the password with which to access the service.
Finally, type yours cellphone number and choose whether to verify your identity via SMS or call. Then type the verification code you receive via SMS or call and presses on NEXT and Continue to start using Snapchat again.
As can be easily understood, by registering again to the service you will not be able to get back your old preferences, your messages, etc. but you will be back in Snapchat with your account and can get back in touch with your friends.
