Delete Deezer Account: Step-by-Step Guide

To delete your Deezer account, go to the Account page on the Deezer website, scroll to the bottom, and click “Delete my account.” You’ll need to confirm your password and then click the confirmation link sent to your email. This permanently removes your profile, playlists, and personal data, and you lose access immediately.

What Deleting Your Deezer Account Means

Deleting your Deezer account is permanent and irreversible. Here’s what happens when you go through with it:

• Your profile, playlists, likes, and followed artists are removed.
• Your subscription is cancelled, and you won’t be charged again.
• You lose access to Deezer on all devices immediately.
• Your personal information is deleted from Deezer’s servers, though some data may be retained for legal or accounting reasons.

If you’re on a free plan, deletion also removes any downloaded music and offline playlists. If you’re on a paid plan, you might want to consider cancelling the subscription first, but deleting the account does that automatically.

Before You Delete: Consider Alternatives

Deleting is a big step. Many people actually want to pause, cancel, or just clean up their account. Here are some alternatives to full deletion:

• Cancel your subscription – keeps your playlists and profile intact, just stops payments.
• Pause your subscription – Deezer allows you to pause a paid plan for a set period (usually a month) without losing anything.
• Delete only your playlists – if you’re just tired of your library, you can remove playlists individually.
• Change your email or password – if you’re worried about security, updating these is enough.

If you’re sure you want out, the steps below are for the web version. The mobile app doesn’t offer a direct delete option, so you’ll need to use a browser.

Step-by-Step: How to Delete Your Deezer Account

1. Go to deezer.com and log in with the account you want to delete.
2. Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then select Settings.
3. In the left menu, click Account.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. You’ll see a red button that says Delete my account.
5. Click it. Deezer will ask you to enter your password to confirm you’re the owner.
6. After entering your password, Deezer sends a confirmation link to your email address.
7. Check your inbox (and spam folder) and click the link in the email to finalize the deletion.

That’s it. Once you click the link, your account is gone. If you don’t click the link within a few days, the deletion request may expire and you’ll have to start over.

What If You Forget Your Password?

You can’t delete an account without logging in. If you forgot your password, use the “Forgot password” link on the login page to reset it. Deezer will send a reset link to your email. After resetting, you can follow the steps above.

If you no longer have access to the email associated with your Deezer account, you’ll need to contact Deezer’s customer support. They can verify your identity through other means (like payment details if you had a subscription) and help you delete the account manually.

What Happens to Your Subscription and Billing?

Deleting your account cancels your subscription automatically. You won’t be charged again after the current billing period ends. If you’ve already paid for the month, you can still use Deezer until the end of that period, but the deletion link will deactivate your account immediately, so you might lose that paid time.

If you want to avoid losing paid time, cancel your subscription first (Settings → Subscription → Cancel), wait until the period ends, then delete the account. That way you get the full month you paid for.

If you believe you were charged after deletion, check your bank statements and contact Deezer support with the transaction details. Keep in mind that deleting an account doesn’t automatically issue refunds for unused time.

Common Problems and How to Solve Them

• No confirmation email – Check your spam/junk folder. If it’s not there, wait a few minutes and try again. Also make sure you’re checking the email address you signed up with.
• “Delete my account” button is grayed out – This can happen if you have an active subscription with a pending payment. Try cancelling the subscription first, then delete.
• You’re logged in with Facebook or Google – If you signed up via a social account, you might not have a password. Click “Forgot password” and set one, then proceed with deletion.
• You can’t log in at all – Use the “Forgot password” flow or contact support. You can’t delete an account you can’t access.

Frequently Asked Questions
