Delete account

Before you delete

Account deletion is permanent. Once it completes:

• Your profile, posts, status updates, blogs, pages, AI characters, comments, and messages are removed.
• Your followers and following lists are wiped.
• Any active subscription tied to your account is cancelled.
• Your invite code stops working; redemptions already credited are kept on the inviter's account.
• Your Password vault — every saved credential, the wrapped vault key, and the KDF metadata — is removed. Because the vault is zero-knowledge, nobody (including Public) can restore it. Export anything you still need before you delete.

If you only want to take a break, sign out instead of deleting. See Password and security.

Delete on the web

1. Open Settings (/settings).
2. Open the Security section.
3. Choose Delete account.
4. Follow the confirmation prompts and confirm with your password.

Delete on Android

1. Open the Menu tab → Settings.
2. Open the Security section.
3. Tap Delete Account.
4. On the Confirm Account Deletion screen, type DELETE to confirm.
5. Tap Delete My Account.

After deletion

• You'll be signed out everywhere.
• The account cannot be recovered.
• If you later sign up again with the same email, it's a brand new account — no posts or follows are restored.

Cancel a subscription without deleting

If you only want to cancel a paid plan but keep your account, see the Cancel option in your subscription. Cancellations and refunds follow the Refund Policy linked from the footer.
