Account Deletion
Option to permanently delete the Substack account.
What is account deletion in Substack?
Account deletion in Substack refers to the process of permanently removing a user's account from the Substack platform. This includes all the data associated with the account such as posts, comments, subscriptions, and personal information. Once an account is deleted, it cannot be recovered or restored, and the user will lose access to any paid subscriptions they may have.
The process typically involves the user submitting a request to Substack's support team for account deletion. The team then verifies the request and proceeds with the deletion. It's important to note that deleting an account is a serious action and should only be done if the user is certain they no longer want to use their Substack account.
How can I delete my Substack account?
To delete your Substack account, you will need to contact Substack's support team directly as there is no option to delete your account from the user interface. You can reach out to them via email at support@substack.com. In your email, clearly state that you wish to delete your account and provide any necessary information they might need to identify your account, such as your username or the email address associated with the account.
Please note that deleting your account will likely result in the loss of any content you have published on the platform. Therefore, it's recommended to backup any important data before proceeding with the deletion. Also, remember that the deletion process might take some time, so be patient and wait for a confirmation from the Substack support team.
