And it will be deleted along with all information associated with it.

Open the official Twitter app on your iPhone or iPad (or head to twitter.com)
Tap your profile picture – or swipe from left to right
Choose Settings and Support then Settings and privacy
Now tap Your account at the top
At the bottom, choose Deactivate your account
Choose a Reactivation period (30 days or 12 months)
Read the disclaimers, tap Deactivate
Enter your password and follow the prompts to delete your account

A fail safe would be to create a random password that you can copy and paste and change your password before deleting it. This will prevent you from being able to log in impulsively before the 30 days are over.
