ChatGPT: Delete Your Account & Data (2024)

Study how to delete your ChatGPT account.

In this guide, we’ll show you the two methods:

1. Directly deleting your account
2. Asking OpenAI, ChatGPT’s maker, to do it for you

Deleting your account + data is 100% free.

Let’s dive in.

How to I permanently delete your ChatGPT account

To permanently delete your ChatGPT account: Open the app > Click your name > Settings > Data Controls > Delete Account > Confirm.

We’ll now take you through the step-by-step process.

Method 1: Settings

This implies doing it yourself, from the very ChatGPT app.

1. Settings

1. Open the ChatGPT Website
2. Click your name (bottom-left)
3. Select “Settings & Beta“

This will bring up a new screen with “General Settings“.

2. Data controls

You now have to go to the “Data controls” section.

1. Look at the left side’s menu
2. Select “Data Controls“

You’ll now see different settings.

You’re about to permanently delete your ChatGPT account.

If you agree with this, you’ve got one more step:

• Click “Refresh login“

Your account is now deleted and you should be asked to sign up/log back into ChatGPT.

Done. Your ChatGPT account is forever gone, and your data is now deleted.

Method 2: Email

1. Open your Email provider
2. Compose a new message
3. Recipient: [email protected]
4. Message: Tell the team that you want your account deleted

However, the first method is more reliable.

This is just as a back-up in case the first one doesn’t work properly, for whatever the reason.
