Spotifyis home to a bountiful trove of music. With over 615 million users connected to the platform, it’s no wonder it’s one of the biggest music-streaming platforms in town. Still, sometimes we need to put aside a little extra pocket change every month. And one of the first things to go are monthly subscriptions. We know it stinks, but this doesn’t mean yourSpotify accountneeds to disappear forever.

How to delete your Spotify account using support
Once Spotify Premium is canceled you can officially delete your Spotify account. Again, to do this, visitSpotify’s support page. Due to the high volume of cancellations, on this page, you might be prompted to message the customer support team. Ignore it, and click thesend messagebutton. A support bot will pop up at the bottom of the screen to help you.
Step 1:In the support bot box, type inclose my account.Once done, click theContinue to close/cancel my accountoption presented by the bot.
Step 2:Next up, click theclose accountlink that the bot sends you. Answer as to why you want to cancel, and then confirm that you can indeed access the email on file. Finally, chooseI understandand a request to close your account will be emailed to you.
Step 3:Look for an email from Spotify, and click theClose my accountlink. Clicking this link will shut down and close out your Spotify for good. The link is valid for 24 hours. If you don’t click the link, after 24 hours you’ll have to go through the process again.
Note that you’ll also get a seven-day grace period. If you want to reactivate your Spotify, this will come as a link in a separate email after you finish canceling.
If you’re wondering how long until Spotify deletes your account, then keep in mind that it’s instantaneous as soon as you click the link. That’s why you can always delete your Spotify account, and make a new one.
