How To Delete Discord Account Permanently

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of permanently deleting your Discord account. Whether you're looking to take a break from the platform or move on entirely, this step-by-step guide will make the process straightforward and clear.

Step 1: Prepare for Account Deletion

Before you delete your Discord account, consider the following:

• Backup Important Data: If you have messages, files, or server roles that you want to keep, make sure to save them as account deletion is irreversible.
• Clear Server Membership: You may want to leave any servers you are a part of. This can help ensure that your absence doesn't affect the communities you are a part of.

Step 2: Log into Your Discord Account

To start the deletion process:

1. Open the Discord app or go to the Discord website.
2. Enter your login credentials (email and password) to access your account.

Step 3: Access User Settings

Once logged in, follow these steps:

1. Click on the gear icon (⚙️) located near your username at the bottom left corner to open User Settings.
2. In the settings menu, scroll down the sidebar until you see the "My Account" section.

Step 4: Initiate Account Deletion

To proceed with deleting your account:

1. Under the "My Account" section, look for the "Delete Account" option.
2. Click on "Delete Account". If you have any server ownerships, Discord will prompt you to transfer ownership to another member before deleting your account.

Step 5: Confirm Account Deletion

You will need to confirm your decision:

1. Discord will ask you to enter your password for security purposes. Input your password and click on "Delete Account" again.
2. You may also be prompted to verify your identity through email or two-factor authentication if you have it enabled.

Conclusion

You've successfully deleted your Discord account! Remember, this action is permanent and cannot be undone. If you decide to return to Discord in the future, you'll need to create a new account. If you're considering privacy tools, explore VPN options to enhance your online security.
