Thinking of ditching the green and moving on from Spotify? Whether you're switching to a different streaming service or just need a digital detox, deleting your Spotify account is a relatively straightforward process. However, it's important to understand the difference between deleting and simply cancelling your Premium subscription.
Deleting your account permanently removes all your playlists, saved songs, and follows. There's no turning back! If you just want to stop paying for Premium, you only need to cancel your subscription, which leaves your account intact.
Ready to commit? Here's how to delete your Spotify account:
1. **Head to Spotify's website:** You can't delete your account through the app. You'll need to log in on a web browser.
2. **Find the 'Contact Support' page:** Look for 'Support' at the bottom of the Spotify website. Then, select 'Account' and find 'Closing my Account'.
3. **Verify your identity:** Spotify will likely ask you to confirm your email address and provide additional information to verify you are the account holder.
4. **Confirm deletion:** Follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the deletion process. Be absolutely sure, as this is a permanent action!
That's it! Just remember to back up any important playlists before you say goodbye. Good luck with your future musical endeavors!
