As we will explain in more detail later, deleting an account will affect even when you resume using Misskey (i.e., re-register). Please be very careful when deleting your account.

Points to Consider When Deleting an Account

When you delete your account, the following will occur:

You will no longer be able to log in to your account.
Data deletion will take some time.
The same ID cannot be used again.

Let's explain each point.

You will no longer be able to log in to your account

Once you delete your account, you will no longer be able to log in to it. There is no recovery function in case of accidental deletion. Please take note of this.

Data deletion will take some time

Data deletion is a resource-intensive operation. Therefore, to avoid disrupting other users' usage, data deletion will take some time.

Please note that not all data will be deleted immediately upon account deletion.

The same ID cannot be used again

Due to the technical limitation on federation, at present, once an ID (the part before @ in @[email protected]) is obtained, it cannot be used again.

You will not be able to obtain the same ID again on the same server, so please be cautious.

After understanding all of the above, and if you still need to delete your account, please select your device type below and proceed with the account deletion.
