What to Know Before Deleting a Discord Account

For the sake of privacy and security, it is a good idea to delete your old online accounts. Before you delete your Discord account, be aware that all of your account information will be lost forever. In the future, you won't be able to recover this information.

Additionally, before you can delete your account, you must either delete or transfer ownership of any servers you own on the platform. If you don't do that, Discord will stop you from deleting your account.

  • From the left sidebar, select "My Account."
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the "My Account" page. Click "Delete Account" there.

If you have a server, Discord will prompt you to delete it or give it to another user. To continue, complete one of these.
