You absolutely can. Deactivating your account will require you to do two things: 1) Delete all the content in your account related to Reddit, and 2) Shut down you paypal payment method associated with that account (if applicable). If you fail to deactivate, we’ll assume that you’ve abandoned your account and it will be deleted.
Please note that as soon as all of your content is deleted, it cannot be restored due to the nature of how we store data. In addition, if you still have an open balance on a gift credit card or OYSC card then there’s no way for us to refund that money back onto a new payment method since we don’t have access to any external payment methods like bank accounts or credit cards.
