It’s easy to delete your Zoom account — but you can only do so in your online settings.

To delete your Zoom account, you’ll have to log on to the website on your preferred browser. It’s important to note that this permanent change cannot be made from either the desktop or mobile app.

Once you’ve logged on, navigate to the “Account Management” section of your settings. You’ll find an option to “Terminate My Account.” It’s also important to note that this change is permanent and cannot be undone — once you confirm the decision, you will be logged out and brought to the Zoom homepage. You will be unable to restore your account, but can create a new profile at any time.

Here’s how to delete your Zoom account.
