When a Twitter account is deactivated, it temporarily disappears from the Twitter platform. This means the user's profile, tweets, and interactions will not be visible to others. If the account is not reactivated within 30 days, it gets permanently deleted, removing all data associated with it. During the deactivation period, the user's username and email are reserved but not accessible to others for use.
