How to Delete a Discord Account temporarily?

Now I also want to clarify that there are a couple of more options that can do instead of deleting the discord account.

• Uninstall Discord Application
• Disable Discord Account

These 2 things are different than deleting your discord account and what is the purpose let me give you a short summary before proceeding.

Uninstalling Discord Application

Uninstalling the discord application will only delete the application from your device and not the discord account.

So, if you don't want to use the app or want to reinstall discord you can go with this option and I would recommend fully uninstalling discord if you have this purpose.

Disable Discord Account

This is another alternate and discord says to go with this option instead of deleting your discord account permanently.

By Disabling the discord account you can recover it back anytime in the future.

So if you want to be out of discord for few days and probably you think there is a chance to come back, go with this option.
