Any advice on what will happen if I do this, or have any prior knowledge of it? The account should no longer appear on your pals’ Snapchat contact list once you’ve deleted it and they won’t be able to send them a Snapchat message.

Unfortunately, deleting your account will not remove the snap or message you sent. It will also delete your profile and personal information. Also, when someone receives a snap from you, it won’t be removed until they open it or the timer runs out.

If you delete your Snapchat account after it has been inactive for 30 days, all of your data will be permanently destroyed. Your pals won’t be able to locate you on Snapchat, and all of the memories you’ve made might be deleted from the server.

Next to their username, on the lower right corner of their profile photo, you’ll see a number. If you can view the number, everything is fine and you’re still two-way friends. If it’s not visible to you, they have either deleted you as a friend or didn’t add you in the first place.

Due to legal restrictions, Snapchat has added a new feature that allows users to delete sent messages before they’re opened. … Before you open a message that you’ve sent, you can now tap and hold on the media (text, audio, picture, etc.) to delete it. Simply select “Yes,” and the content in question will be removed.
