How to Delete Your Discord Account Permanently

~5 min 5 steps Verified:

Short answer

Delete your Discord account in-app: User Settings > My Account > 'Remove Account' and confirm. Deletion takes effect after a 14-day window; if you don't log in during that time, the account and its data are permanently removed. If you own servers, transfer or delete them first; alternatively disable the account temporarily.

01 — Step by Step

Step-by-step fix

  1. Own servers? Transfer them first

    For servers you own, transfer ownership in Server Settings > Members or delete the server. Accounts owning servers get blocked from deletion until ownership is resolved.

  2. Open User Settings > My Account

    In the desktop or mobile app, click the gear icon at the bottom left. On 'My Account' you'll find the edit/remove options above your email and phone fields.

  3. Confirm 'Remove Account'

    Click 'Remove Account'; your password (and 2FA code if enabled) is requested. Confirm on the screen that explains the deletion.

  4. Understand the 14-day window

    After the request, the account enters 'pending deletion'. Logging in during those 14 days restores it; otherwise username, messages and data are permanently removed at the end.

  5. Alternative: temporary disable

    On the same screen choose 'Disable Account' instead to hide the account without deleting anything — you can return anytime by logging in.

02 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Are my messages deleted when the account is deleted?
Your username shows as 'Deleted User' and profile data is removed; message text may remain anonymized on servers — full deletion isn't guaranteed.
02What if I change my mind within 14 days?
Log in during the window and Discord offers account restoration. After the window, recovery isn't possible.
03My account was hacked — should I delete it?
First change your password, enable 2FA, log out all devices and contact support. Deletion also deletes your data; treat it as a last resort.
