How do I delete my TikTok account if I forgot my email
With TikTok big on implementing good security standards for all content creators accounts to avoid hacking and the loss of accounts, they have made it only possible to delete an account if you are logged in to the account in question.
If you created a TikTok account with just your email address, and you do not know it, you will not be able to delete the account.
You can try and recover your account on the login page, but if you do not know the correct password, and your Facebook or Instagram is not linked, you may not be able to complete a recovery on your TikTok account.
How long does it take to deactivate your account on TikTok
Once you have gone through the process of deleting your TikTok account, your profile will be ‘deactivated’ for no more than 30 days.
The ‘deactivation‘ phase allows a user to recover their account during this time if they have changed their minds.
Once the 30 days have passed, a users TikTok account will be permanently deleted, and there will be no way to retrieve the account back.
Any details related to this deleted account will be removed, so you would not need to worry that your mobile number may still be accessible, or any other details if you had linked your Facebook or Instagram account.
