its better than leaving it out there, also there are compliance laws like GDPR in some jurisdictions (similar in California) where they have to be more careful with data. overall I'd rather ask them to delete it & have them try to jump through hoops to resurrect it. further as GP mentioned, this should provide some protection from unintentional breaches. push come to shove I am prepared to delete the account and ask my friends to follow me on mastodon, its really not that much of lock-in with twitter.
