delete account

Erase user presence

Delete account is the action of permanently removing a user profile and associated data from a website, app, or online service.

The phrase appears on buttons and in menus when users want to leave a platform entirely: I finally decided to delete my account after the privacy scandal.

Unlike deactivating, which typically preserves data for possible return, deleting an account is usually irreversible.
