There are plenty of reasons to walk away from a social media platform. Maybe the privacy policy changed and you are not comfortable with what they are collecting. Maybe you are cutting down on screen time. Maybe you just do not use it anymore and want your data gone. Whatever the reason, deleting an account is rarely as simple as pressing one button. Every platform buries the option in a different place, adds waiting periods, and makes you jump through verification hoops. This series walks you through the exact steps for each platform so you can leave cleanly without missing anything important.
