How to delete a Discord account?
You can delete your account if you want to take a permanent break from Discord. The process takes time, and you have 14 days to rethink the decision.
After that period, Discord will permanently delete your account and data, and you wouldn’t be able to regain your data.
How to delete a discord account on a computer?
You can use the Discord desktop app or the Discord web version because they are similar.
Launch the Discord app on your computer or visit Discord.com from a web browser and log in to your discord account. There’s a footer bar at the bottom left corner. Click on the gear icon, which will take you to the User Settings page.
Multiple options are at the left sidebar; ensure you are on the My Account page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Delete Account.
If you own a discord server, you can’t delete your account without transferring the ownership.
Once you have transferred ownership, go to User Settings > My Account again and click Delete Account.
A pop-up will appear on your screen with a password field. Enter the password of your discord account and click on Delete Account.
Once you click the button, your 14 days begin. You can restore your account anytime within this period.
Note: You can’t delete your account if you don’t know the password. You must reset your discord account and enter the current password while deleting.
How to delete a Discord account on the mobile app?
Although most people use Discord on a computer, when I played Call of Duty Mobile, I saw many people are mobile gamers and only use Discord on smartphones.
If you only use the Discord app on your smartphone, can you delete your account from the app?
The answer is Yes, and here’s how:
- Open the Discord app on your smartphone. If you are inside a channel or DM, press backspace, and you can see a footer bar.
- Tap on your Discord avatar at the right corner o the footer; it will open the User Settings page.
- Unlike desktop apps, it won’t take you to the My Account page directly. So, tap on Account.
- Scroll down and tap on Delete Account. A pop-up will ask for your password; enter your password and click on Delete Account.

If it didn’t pass the 14 days limit since you had proceeded to delete your account, restoring your account is possible.

Click on Restore Account, and your discord account will be re-activated. You can now log in to your account on the Discord app and keep using Discord.
