Would you like to delete your Deezer account but don’t know how? Don’t panic, we’ll guide you step by step to delete your account and cancel your subscription if necessary.
Steps to delete a Deezer account and cancel a subscription
Deleting a Deezer account requires a few specific steps, especially if you have an active subscription. To avoid any billing problems, it’s important to cancel your Premium subscription first, before deleting your account for good. We’ll go through each step in detail to ensure a smooth process.
💡To reduce the cost of your subscription, opt for Deezer subscription sharing. By joining a group via a specialized platform, you can enjoy premium benefits at a lower cost, while respecting the terms and conditions of use and enjoying complete peace of mind.
Steps to delete a Deezer account
Deleting a Deezer account is done directly from the website.
Here’s how it works:
- Log in to your account on deezer.com
- Access your account settings via your profile
- Scroll to the bottom of the page
- Click on “Delete my account”.
- Enter your password to confirm
- Confirm the deletion using the link sent to you by email
Please note that this action is irreversible: your playlists, favorites and settings will be permanently lost. If you log in via Facebook or Google, use the Deezer password sent to you when you created your account.
How to cancel a Deezer subscription
You can cancel a Deezer subscription directly from your account. Go to Settings, then to the “Manage my subscription” section. You can then choose the cancellation option and follow the steps to confirm your choice. Note that if you subscribed via a mobile operator or Apple, the procedure is different. In this case, you’ll need to go directly through your operator or your iTunes account settings to cancel. Don’t forget to cancel early: you must cancel 48 hours before the renewal date to avoid being charged the following month. Once you have cancelled, you will retain access to your premium subscription until the end of the current period.
Consequences of deletion
Deleting a Deezer account is a definitive action that requires careful consideration. Once your account is deleted, you will lose access to all your personalized playlists and favorites lists. The tracks you’ve carefully selected over time will disappear, as will your personalized settings. If you have a current premium subscription, this will automatically terminate with account deletion. It’s important to note that there’s no way of recovering this data afterwards, as deletion is irreversible. So take the time to back up any tracks or playlists that are important to you before proceeding with this action.
Alternatives to removal
Before deleting your Deezer account for good, you should know that there are less radical alternatives. The simplest is to cancel your premium subscription and switch to the free version. You’ll keep your playlists and favorites, and save money in the process. Of course, you’ll have to contend with a few limitations, such as the presence of ads and the impossibility of listening offline. If Deezer isn’t what you’re looking for, there are a number of music streaming platforms to suit your needs. Among the most popular are MusicMe, which offers a free version with millions of tracks, and Grooveshark, with its intuitive interface. These services generally let you create playlists and listen to music for free, with optional premium features.
