How to delete your account

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Open my settings.
3. Under Account, select Delete account and confirm.

If you cannot sign in

If you have forgotten your password, reset it first, then sign in and follow the steps above to delete your account.

What is deleted

• Your private recipes.
• Your meal plans and your votes on dishes.
• Your likes. The recipes you liked stay with their owners.
• Your household membership. Invitations you sent are withdrawn and invitations you received are declined. If you are the head of your household, another member becomes the head.
• Your personal details, including your name, email address, and password, are erased so the account can no longer be signed in to.

What is kept

Your public recipes remain in the shared library so that other members can still use them. They stay attached to your now anonymized account and are no longer identifiable as yours.

Reports you filed, and reports about your account or your recipes, are kept as the record that each one was dealt with. Your display name is removed from the reports we store about you, and the title of each private recipe you own is removed from the reports about that recipe. Copies of reports already sent to our support inbox are not changed. Blocks you set, and blocks others set on you, stay attached to your anonymized account.
