If you\u2019re no longer using Spotify you can delete your account with relative ease.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in a situation where you are no longer using your Spotify<\/a> account and want to delete it, you can do so pretty easily. There are a few hoops you need to jump through such as having to use a web browser but it shouldn\u2019t take longer than 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will want to ensure you\u2019re aware of the repercussions of deleting your account, it will be permanent, you will lose all your downloaded music, playlists, and followers. It\u2019s also worth noting that you can cancel your premium membership and downgrade to the free version, which means you will have your listening interrupted by ads. You will, however, get to keep the aforementioned playlists, albums, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that if you close your account you will not be able to use that username on Spotify again. However, you can create a new account with the same email address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how you delete your Spotify account<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Go to your Spotify<\/a> account login via a web browser, go to the \u2018Contact Spotify Support\u2019 page and click \u2018Account\u2019. Then click \u2018I want to close my account\u2019. Keep clicking \u2018Continue\u2019 until you get a confirmation email with a\u00a0 link to permanently close your account. Open that link and click the final \u2018Close My Account\u2019 option, this will be a green button and must be clicked within 24 hours of receiving the email.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
