    One thing that I thought was good advice was to delete your account, then sign up with the same username so no-one can pretend they are you. I’d bet bots are hoovering up such accounts during the Xodus and it won’t end well.

      Ah shit.

      Can I instead just kind of… “clean” my existing account? Is that possible? Delete everything automatically yet keep my account, as a now blank one?

        Possibly, but:

        In theory, deleting your account is the only way to have all your data wiped from Twitter’s servers. Even if you do so, however, you can never be ultimately confident that the service will carry through with its promise.
