Deactivating your Twitter account does not immediately delete everything. After deactivation, Twitter provides a 30-day grace period during which you can reactivate your account. If not reactivated within this timeframe, your account and associated data will be permanently deleted. However, some information may remain in Twitter's servers for a few weeks post-deletion for recovery purposes.
