2. You must get in touch with the Pinterest team if you have a business account and have run advertising campaigns to get assistance with the final closure.
3. Additionally, you won’t be able to finish closing the profile until all of your ad campaigns have been paid for.
4. The social network quickly deactivates your profile when you delete your Pinterest account, however, your account is still operational for 14 days after that. You can get your account back during those 14 days by checking in with your username and password.
How to deactivate your account and take a break instead
Do you prefer to take a break from Pinterest than delete your account? There is also this choice.
The process is straightforward; all you have to do is proceed as though you were trying to delete the account, but choose the “Deactivate account” option instead.
Your account’s deactivation has the following effects on your Pinterest account:
Your profile’s shared material (boards and pins) will no longer be accessible to other users.
Both your personal and commercial accounts can be deactivated.
Even if you decide to register another account, if you deactivate your account, the username won’t be visible to other users.
You only need to log in to reactivate your Pinterest account and resume your normal activity.
