• No. X says an email address can only be linked to one X account at a time, so each account needs its own email
• A deactivated account's username and email stay unavailable for 30 days
• Usernames, phone numbers and emails tied to suspended accounts can't be reused
• To check if a username is taken, go to x.com/ followed by the username. No account there usually means it's tied to a deactivated or suspended account

A second account makes sense for a separate brand, a second shop or a personal account kept apart from the business one. X can't merge accounts or move posts, following or followers from one to another, so choose carefully before building an audience on the wrong one.

If the goal is letting a colleague post for the business, X's Delegate feature gives them access without sharing the password. See our guide on giving someone access to your X account.

X says logging out doesn't delete the account, and you can add it back with the Log in button. On iPhone you can also remove it from the device's settings under X.

1. iPhone: tap your profile icon, then Settings and privacy, Account, and Log out.
2. Android: open the menu, then Settings and privacy, Your account, Account Information, Log out, and OK.

• You posted from the wrong account: check the profile icon before sending, and delete the post if it went out on the wrong one
• Two accounts you want to combine: X says it doesn't offer merging or data migration
• Can't create the new account: the email, phone number or username is already in use, possibly on an old or deactivated account
• Need to log out of a phone you no longer have: use Apps and sessions on x.com to log out other sessions
