Can I deactivate my account?

Yes. Go to Settings→Other→Deactivate Account and follow the on-screen prompt. Your channel will be removed from the active part of Minds, but your content will remain archived.

If you wish to permanently delete your account, you may instead click Deactivate and Delete account.

Or from the mobile app...


If you've deactivated your account and wish to reactivate, you need only log back in!

When I go to deactivate my channel, I'm assuming it''s deleting my account. However, clicking the button just logs me out. I'm able to log back in. How can I have my account deleted?

I created a mispelled username. Is there anyway that I can permanently delete the account, instead of just deactivate it?

My account is all jacked up. Every time I try to login I have to reset password, and I can't even post pictures. It won't let me press the post button. I may deactivate my account.

I am trying to permanently delete my account. I only see the "deactivate" option. I try to log back in and it works; my profile is there. No other instructions are apparent. There needs to be an immediate, secure way to completely delete an account. How can this be done?

Hi, if I deactivate my channel, it's still publicly available. Is the deactivation feature just a glorified logout button? Or isn't it working at all?
