Discord is a messaging platform that has become very popular in contact with millions of users around the world, although it must be borne in mind that the vast majority of its users come from the world of Gaming. To take part in Discord, we would have to create a user account that will allow us to access the Discord servers and initiate chats with other users.

The Discord user account has certain personal information in addition to storing the information that we generate in the chats. This information can be of great importance to users as it can contain important conversations and even files that have been shared in these Discord chats.
Despite all this, there may be many users who at some point may consider deleting or deactivating their Discord account. The reasons why a user may want to delete their account or disable it can be very varied, but it must be taken into account that this can lead to the loss of valuable information stored in their Discord account.
Therefore, in the event that you are Discord users and you are wondering how to deactivate, delete and / or restore, in this tutorial we will show you how to do it in a detailed step by step:
How to disable or delete Discord account.
1. Open the app or access the web version of Discord.
2. Once you have logged into your account you will have to click on the gear icon next to the username.
3. This will take you to a screen where you will have to go to the tab: My Account.
4. Now at the bottom of the main part you will find the section: Account Deletion
5. Under this section you will find 2 options to choose from:
– Disable Account: If you click on this button, your account will remain inactive for 30 days (inaccessible for Discord users), however, after these 30 days your Discord user account will be deleted forever along with its content.
– Delete Account: If you click on this button, your Discord account will be completely deleted immediately and with it all the information that this account contains will be deleted, preventing them from being accessed anymore.
Important Note: From TechnoWikis we always recommend using the deactivate option before Delete. This will allow you to recover your Discord account in the event that you regret its deletion before the 30-day deadline.
How to restore your Discord account.
1. The recovery of your Discord account is only available if we have made use of the Deactivate function.
2. Open the Discord program or access the web version.
3. Here you must log in with your user account.
4. After entering the login, you will see how the option is displayed: Restore Account.
5. By clicking on this option, your account will once again be active and visible to other users, as well as its owner.
Important Note: It should be noted that if after using your login, the option to Restore your Discord Account is not displayed, it may be because more than 30 days have passed and it has been completely deleted.
