# Disconnect X account

> Delete the stored Xquik connection only; the X account stays unchanged, old IDs return 404, and reconnecting creates a new ID

Use this endpoint when a connected account should no longer be available for write actions, DMs, media upload, or profile updates. It deletes only the stored Xquik connection for that account ID. It does not change the X account itself. After success, the old Xquik account ID returns `404`; reconnect the account to get a new ID.

## What disconnect does

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Removes this connection" icon="trash-2">
    The stored connection row is removed from your Xquik account. Future `GET /x/accounts/{id}` calls for the same ID return `404`.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Stops writes immediately" icon="send">
    The dashboard Disconnect button uses the same endpoint and warns that write actions stop immediately. After success, new write, DM, media upload, and profile actions must choose another connected account or reconnect this X account.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Keeps monitors separate" icon="radio">
    Account and keyword monitors are independent. Disconnecting credentials for `@username` does not remove monitors that track that username. Delete those monitors separately when tracking should stop.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Reconnect with a new ID" icon="refresh-cw">
    To use the same X account again, call [Connect X Account](/api-reference/x-accounts/connect). Store the new account `id` from the connect response instead of reusing the deleted ID.
