No, Twitter does not delete accounts after 30 days. Instead, Twitter marks the account for deactivation, which is a different process. An account has to be manually deactivated by the user, and even after deactivation, users have a 30-day grace period to reactivate their account. If the account is not reactivated within this period, Twitter may begin the process of permanently removing the account, but this does not happen exactly at the 30-day mark.
