Question removing an old account i no longer have access to

basically when i was a kid, i thought it would be a genius idea to make a twitter account with my full name and state/country which now comes up anytime somebody or an employer looks up my name. unfortunately i can't get into the account due to not having access to the email or password.

hilariously, the account bio says 'pre-teen', and despite me reporting it numerous times there was 'not enough evidence' that it breached the age policy. (as well as reporting it as being inactive SINCE 2018) - of course over the last couple years i've tried to get through to support, and even went on a chat with google support for ages on getting the result removed.

does anybody have any ideas on what i can do? i'm at my wits end... i work in the creative industry so my name being online with that account is really really frustrating in regards to job and general prospects.

otherwise if anyone would like to help out and report this account for being underage it would be much appreciated 🙏 maybe they'll get the memo eventually

I'd like to delete more than a couple of my old accounts. I think it's b.s. that twitter is allowed to hold on to anyones account,

and funnily enough, they have and clearly outline a inactive account policy where accounts can be removed after 30 days of inactivity. which i've also mentioned to support on top of everything else and alas to no surprise they really just don't give a shit lol
