• To delete your Snapchat account, you first have to log into your account on a desktop or laptop computer.
• It takes 30 days for your Snapchat account to be permanently deleted. In the meantime, it'll only be deactivated, allowing you to log in and reactivate your account if you change your mind.
• If you want to save your Snapchat photos or videos, you'll have to do it before deactivating your account.

If you decide that you don't want your Snapchat account anymore, you can always delete your account. To do so, however, you'll need to use the desktop version of the app, which means you'll need to know your login information.

Keep in mind that once you complete these steps, your Snapchat account won't be deleted right away; it'll be deactivated for 30 days, during which time you'll have the option to reactivate your account before it's permanently deleted. So, in case you change your mind, it's a good idea to have your password and username handy.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
