How to delete your Apple ID account
As part of putting you in control of your data and privacy, Apple gives you the ability to permanently delete your Apple ID account at any time and for any reason.
This article provides information and answers to common questions about deleting your Apple ID account. Make sure you read this entire page to understand what happens when your Apple ID is deleted.
About deleting your Apple ID
When your Apple ID account is deleted, your account details and the data associated with your Apple ID are permanently deleted from Apple’s servers. You can't sign in to your account, and you won’t be able to access any data, content, or services that were associated with your Apple ID.
Photos, videos, documents, and other content that you stored in iCloud are permanently deleted; you can't receive any messages or calls sent to your account via iMessage, FaceTime, or iCloud Mail; and you can't sign in to or use services such as iCloud, the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, Apple Pay, iMessage, FaceTime, and Find My iPhone. In addition, any Apple Store appointments and AppleCare support cases are canceled.
Deleting your Apple ID is permanent. After your account is deleted, Apple can't reopen or reactivate your account or restore your data. If you aren’t planning to use your account for now but may consider returning to it in the future, we recommend temporarily deactivating your account (where available) instead of deleting it.
Before you request deletion of your Apple ID
We recommend that you take a few steps before you request deletion of your Apple ID.
- Back up the data that you store in iCloud—including content for any Apple or third-party apps that store data using iCloud—to a place that doesn’t use your Apple ID for access.
- Download any DRM-free purchases, iTunes Match tracks that you don’t have copies of, and any other music and media.
- Review any active subscriptions. When your account is deleted, subscriptions are canceled at the end of their billing cycles.
- Save copies of any Apple-related information that you currently need or expect to need.
- Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple ID account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can't sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted.
How to permanently delete your Apple ID
Sign in to your Apple ID account page on a Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPad. Then scroll down to Data and Privacy and select "Manage Your Data and Privacy." On the following page, select "Get started" under "Delete your account."
When you request account deletion, you'll receive a unique alphanumeric access code. Make sure that you keep this access code in a safe place. For a short period of time while your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support, provide your access code, and we’ll help you cancel your request so you can resume using your Apple ID.
After you request deletion of your Apple ID
After you request deletion of your Apple ID account, we verify that you are the account-holder who made the request. After this verification is complete, account details and data associated with your Apple ID are permanently deleted from Apple’s servers. At that point, you can no longer sign in to your account or access any data, content, services, or appointments that were associated with your Apple ID.
When you delete your Apple ID, Apple makes our best effort to delete all personal data associated with your account. However, we are required to retain past transaction information for financial reporting purposes, and we may be required to retain certain information to comply with a court settlement or other ongoing legal procedure.
