  14. How can I remove my Twitter account permanently. Here is my situation: 1. I don´t remember my password anymore. 2. I don´ t remember my e-mail address to which I’ve sent my contact information if password’s missing. (The new account has been made also two years ago and in being drunk – and not used since then). 3. The situation is hopless – The account with unpleasant pictures of me has been there now for two years. I made the account when I was drunk and I can’t rememeber much else of that night. So there are these pictures which are capturing my social life and for example, job-hunting, school in social means and the reputation in the future. In according to the civil rights, am I foced to live in prison for the rest of my life because of what I did almost like by mistake in the past. Why doesn’t Twitter support and maintenance take care things like that? I red from somewhere that the account is removed automatically if it’s not used for half year. In my case, the punishment still goes on and on….for 2 years exactly right now. What the hell should I do. If someone could remove the account, I’d give my little finger for that action. It would be a salvation, a new start to my life. Please help the hopeless!

  16. I have a very old account. And I already forgot my yahoo/gmail account. I also forget my password and email on twitter? the thing is I could search it on google with my personal name. Is it possible that twitter would delete my account itself without logging in anymore?
