How To Delete Spotify Account

  • Firstly, go to the Spotify Contact Us page.
  • Are you signed into your Spotify account? If not, do so.
  • Then, select the Account option.
  • Once done, choose “I want to close my Spotify account permanently.
  • Then, you have two options, you can either Close your account or cancel your subscription.
  • Choose Close Account (if you want to delete your Spotify account).
  • Lastly, Spotify asks for a reason why you want to cancel your account.  Once complete, click Send Question.

Alternatively, you may need to take a few more steps to get Spotify support to help with closing your Spotify account.

  • As above, visit Spotify’s contact form in a browser and sign in with your username and password.
  • Choose any category.
  • A webpage loads with various topics. Select any topic.
  • However, instead of inputting your info, choose I Still Need Help.
  • Then, in the Tell Us More section, type “I want to close my Spotify account.”
  • Lastly, select Send Question.

You can expect an email from Spotify telling you to visit the Spotify help forums. However, you can disregard the email and reply with “I want to delete my Spotify account.” A Spotify agent then contacts you and they may request some information to verify your identity. Spotify support will contact you at your email address once they process your request.

What Happens When I Close My Spotify Account?

Please note that once you delete your Spotify account, it is permanently deleted. Closing your account prevents you from accessing any of the information stored on it, including your custom playlists and offline songs. You also won’t be able to sign up again for Spotify with the same username. However, if you just want to cancel your Premium subscription, you can simply downgrade to Spotify Free.

Likewise, if you just wish to downgrade to the free version of Spotify, here’s what to do:

  • Go to the Spotify homepage.
  • Then, click on login.
  • Enter your account information.
  • Then, Click on login (again).
  • Once logged in, click on your username.
  • Then, select account from the drop-down menu.
  • From the menu on the left, click on subscription.
  • Then, select cancel your subscription.
  • Click on the reason you are leaving then click continue.
  • Now, click on Cancel My Subscription.
  • Enter your password.
  • Finally, click on Cancel My Subscription.

What Happens When I Cancel My Spotify Premium Subscription?

Spotify allows you finish the remaining time left on your premium subscription up until your next payment due date. However, after that, your account remains active but as a free account. And, unlike when you close your Spotify account, Spotify saves all of your playlists and settings from your premium account for three months. Hence, if you want to go back, simply sign up for a premium account using the same account information.
