I also know the problem of being glued to social media, although for me it mainly is youtube. When I start, I usually have the problem, that I simply cannot stop. After watching videos for over one hour, I am usually annoyed at myself and really disappointed that I am not stronger in resisting.
So what I started doing instead of removing accounts, as it is too easy to recreate them, block annoying pages for most of the time every day.
For example with Cold Turkey, WasteNoTime or Leechblock, you can block specific websites. You can even specify a schedule or a maximum amount of time. For example, I block youtube, facebook, and twitter every day from 8am to 8pm. This way I can make sure, that I will be able to focus, but I still do not have to stay away from social media altogether.
Maybe something similar could work for you?
