What Can Go Wrong When You Delete Your Duolingo Account Yourself
One of the main mistakes that people make when they go to delete their account is that they will accidentally deactivate their account, instead of deleting it. While these two things may seem very similar, deleting your account is not the same as deactivating it.
When you deactivate your account, you are essentially pausing your account for an undefined amount of time. While your account is deactivated, your username and other personal information will be reserved to ensure that no one else can use it. At any time, you can reactivate your account, and pick right up where you left off.
When you delete your account, you are completely removing all of your data and personal information from Duolingo's system.
