Deleting Snapchat
If you have decided to delete Snapchat due to personal reasons, Snapchat will inform you about how long it would take for them to completely delete your entire history. In case you want to delete your story, remove a friend, chat, or delete individual messages instead, then you do not need to delete your entire account.
Snapchat will ask you to fill in your email and password before you continue for account deletion. Further, they will inform you that all of your data including memories, snaps, and other information will be wiped from their servers after 30 days of submission of the deletion request. Your account will remain deactivated for 30 days. Snapchat will keep some information for business, security, or legal reasons.
However, if you change your mind, you can always revoke the deletion request by logging in and saving your account from being deleted completely. This will reactivate your account. You can reach out to Snapchat’s support team if you are facing any issues.
