How to Delete OnlyFans Account — Creators & Users (2024)

Whether driven by privacy issues, financial constraints, or a simple shortage of time, you might find yourself needing to delete your OnlyFans account, possibly even without the luxury of logging in first.

Forget scouring Reddit for piecemeal advice. This comprehensive guide covers how to permanently delete OnlyFans accounts — applicable to both creators and users. It also offers guidance on how to delete OnlyFans accounts you can no longer access.

Before you hit that delete button, it's also crucial to know what will happen to your remaining funds and personal data. So let's get started!

Tips on Things to Do Before Deleting OnlyFans Account

Before you pull the trigger, there are some measures you can take to ensure a smooth exit without any lingering issues:

• Spend or withdraw your money. Withdraw any earnings to your bank card and use your remaining OnlyFans wallet funds to tip creators or buy content.
• Save the content you don’t want to lose. It’s recommended that creators save any pictures, videos, or live streams that are posted to their accounts. If you consider starting a new account at some point, you may want to save a list of your subscribers.
• Notify subscribers. If you’re a creator, informing your subscribers that you're leaving will end your OnlyFans journey respectfully and will help you to maintain followers or subscribers on other social media platforms.
• Change your email. Switch your attached email account to an address that is mostly unused to avoid seeing unwanted post-deletion emails and to prevent accidental reactivation.
• Disable auto-renewal. Cancel all subscriptions and disable auto-renewal in the settings (this is covered in the guide below).

How to Delete OnlyFans Account on a PC, Mac, iPhone, and Android

Good news — whether you're a creator or a subscriber on OnlyFans, the steps to delete your account are pretty much the same. However, if you’re a subscriber, make sure to cancel any active subscriptions you have before hitting the delete button. Otherwise, they could auto-renew, leaving you on the hook for charges even after you've stopped using the account. Here’s what to do:

Step 1. Tap or click your profile icon and navigate to Following in the menu below your username.

Step 2. Select the Active tab for ongoing subscriptions. Under the account you wish to unsubscribe from, tap or click Subscribed.

Step 3. Tap or click Unsubscribe for every content creator. This will stop the subscription from auto-renewing.

All deactivated subscriptions automatically expire at the end of the subscription period

How to Delete an OnlyFans Account If You Can’t Log In

If you've lost access to your account, there are two options you can try:

• Reset your password. If the issue is that you can’t remember your password, go to the OnlyFans login page and click Forgot password. Enter the email address tied to your OnlyFans account when prompted, and you should then receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password. When you’ve done so, log in with the new password.
• Contact customer support. Email the support team at support@onlyfans.com, explaining why you can’t delete the account by yourself. When asked, you'll need to confirm information like the email address associated with the account, the last four digits of the card used for payments, and possibly other identifying details. Once your identity has been verified, the support team should be able to close the account.

What Happens After Deleting Your OnlyFans Account

Deleting your OnlyFans account is irreversible. Here are the things you should consider before deletion:

• All your profile info, content, and messages are permanently deleted.
• Your fans can't message or tip you after you initiate the deletion process.
• Any pending payouts for creators are sent to their payment method within the standard 7-day payout period.
• Subscribers with money in their wallets have 30 days to spend their funds, after which the money is forfeited.
• You don’t get any money back for content you lost access to because OnlyFans has a strict no-refund policy.
• The content you’ve purchased or had access to becomes inaccessible after you delete the account.
• OnlyFans collects a lot of data, such as your photo ID, phone number, date of birth, geolocation data, and bank card details. Typically, OnlyFans stores this data for up to 6 months after account deletion. That said, if you’re in the EU, you may request that OnlyFans erase all personal data they possess about you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to which they must adhere within a 30-day timeframe. This may be worth considering if privacy is a concern.
• Your public profile may persist on search engines like Google until they update their caches (OnlyFans doesn’t control that).
• After removing your OnlyFans account, consider erasing your browsing and search histories to remove any digital footprint of your activity on the site.

FAQs on Deleting the OnlyFans Accounts

How long does it take to delete an OnlyFans account?

Once you initiate the deletion, your account is immediately deactivated, meaning you and other users cannot access it. If you're a creator, there may be a waiting period to clear any pending transactions before your account is permanently deleted. However, even after your account is closed, some of your data may be retained by OnlyFans for 6 months or more as per their privacy policy.

How do I delete my OnlyFans account from Google search results?

Search engines like Google must refresh their cache to remove mentions of your account from search result pages. This process can take weeks after you delete your OnlyFans account. However, you can contact Google to request the manual removal of outdated OnlyFans profile results on its search engine.

Can I recover my deleted OnlyFans account?

Most likely not. Once an account is deleted, it’s permanently removed from the platform. This means you lose access to any content you've created or subscribed to.

If you've accidentally deleted your account and wish to recover it, your best course of action would be to contact OnlyFans customer support as quickly as possible. However, success in account recovery is not guaranteed.

What happens to the money in my wallet after I delete my OnlyFans?

The leftover money in your account can be used for up to 30 days after initiating account deletion. It’s better to spend the remaining money on content before they’re forfeited. Creators receive their last payouts from other users to their preferred payment methods even after deletion.

Can I get a refund from OnlyFans?

No, you can't get a refund from OnlyFans due to its strict no-refund policy. The money in your wallet can't be transferred back to a bank or credit card — it must be spent on the platform. However, OnlyFans may consider refunds for specific cases like double charging or fraud.

Wrapping Up

So, there you have it! With this guide, deleting your OnlyFans account is a breeze from start to finish. Just remember, once you hit that delete button, there's no turning back — you'll lose your content, followers, and any money left in your wallet. Make sure you're 100% ready before taking the plunge.
