How To Delete Spotify Account Fast
While Spotify is a great music app, it might not be necessarily your favourite.
Maybe you read a bit about Apple Music or Amazon Music unlimited or are simply sick of the app.
Whatever’s the case, you want to delete your Spotify account.
But to delete your account is not as easy as it seems.
Most modern apps have made it a hassle to close your account.
That’s because they want your paid subscription.
But don’t worry, we’ll show you how to permanently close a Spotify account.
Here’s what you need to know:
- How to delete Spotify account?

How to Delete Spotify Account?
If you don’t want a Spotify-free or premium account anymore, you’ll need to find the “Close My Account” button.
When you cancel your Spotify account, you are also deleting your subscription.
To delete your Spotify account, you’ll need to contact Spotify Support.
Here’s how the “close account” function works:
- Step 1: Go to this link: https://support.spotify.com/us/contact-spotify-support/
- Step 2: Scroll down and click “Account.”
- Step 3: After you click “Account,” you’ll need to click “I want to close my account.”
- Step 4: Now, you’ll be taken to another page. You’ll have these options:
- Permanently Delete account.
- Cancel your subscription
- Step 5: Next, they’ll ask you to “select account” to cancel.
- Step 6: After selecting to close your account, you’ll need to answer a couple of questions on the site.
- Step 7: You don’t need to explain why you are closing your account. Just skip each question.
- Step 8: Verify that you selected the right account to delete.
- Step 9: You’ll get your last warning. Confirm it.
- Step 10: Spotify will send you a confirmation email with a link.
- Click “Close My Account.”
After you click “close account,” Spotify will send you another link to the same email address with a reactivation link.
It lasts for seven days.
Can You Delete Your Spotify Account From the App?
No, you can’t do the account deletion process from the mobile app.
In fact, you can’t access the account deletion process at all from anywhere other than the Spotify website.
There are features put in place by major companies like Facebook, so people think twice before they search for an article on how to delete Spotify account.
Don’t worry. It might be a hassle to find the “close my account option,” but you won’t need to repeat the process again.
What Happens When You Delete A Spotify Premium Account?
Here is what will happen if you close or delete Spotify account:
- You’ll lose access to any Spotify page (unless you create or reactivate a new account).
- Your Premium subscription will be canceled.
- You’ll be able to reactivate your old account and make it a free Spotify account.
- You’ll have the same username upon reactivation.
- You can create a new account to enjoy the app’s free version.
- Your saved music and playlists will be deleted as well
That’s a lot of things!
Again, take your time to decide if you are willing to lose all that.
