“How to Delete Your Crunchyroll Account”

Thinking of parting ways with Crunchyroll? Whether you’ve discovered a new anime haven or simply want a break from the streaming world, deleting your Crunchyroll account is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through every step, ensuring a smooth and permanent account deletion.

So Long, Streaming Service! But First, Are You Sure?

Before diving into account deletion, consider these factors:

• Unwatched Shows: Have you finished everything on your watchlist? Double-check for hidden gems you might miss after deleting your account.
• Downloaded Content: Crunchyroll allows downloads for premium users. Remember to transfer any downloaded episodes elsewhere before proceeding.
• Subscriptions: Ensure you’ve canceled any active subscriptions to avoid future charges. We’ll cover how to do this later in the guide.

Once you’re certain about deleting your Crunchyroll account, let’s get started!

Cancelling Your Crunchyroll Subscription (Essential Before Deletion)

Crunchyroll offers a variety of subscription plans, and it’s crucial to cancel yours before account deletion. Here’s how to cancel depending on your payment method:

Web Browser:

1. Log in to your Crunchyroll account on a web browser.
2. Navigate to your account settings (usually found under your profile picture).
3. Locate the “Membership” section and click on “Premium Membership Status.”
4. You’ll see a “Cancel Membership” button. Click on it.
5. Confirm your cancellation in the pop-up window.

Mobile App:

1. Open the Crunchyroll app and log in to your account.
2. Tap on the profile icon and select “Account.”
3. Go to “Settings” and then “Membership.”
4. Under “Subscription,” tap on “Cancel Membership.”
5. Confirm cancellation in the prompt.

App Store/Google Play Store:

1. Open the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
2. Tap on your profile picture and select “Subscriptions.”
3. Find your Crunchyroll subscription and tap on it.
4. Select “Cancel Subscription” and confirm your choice.

Important Note: It can take up to a day for the cancellation to reflect on your account. You’ll still have access to premium features until the end of your current billing cycle.

Waving Goodbye: Deleting Your Crunchyroll Account

Now that your subscriptions are canceled, it’s time for the final step: deleting your Crunchyroll account. Here’s how:

1. Head to the Account Deletion Page: Unfortunately, Crunchyroll doesn’t offer an option to delete your account directly through account settings. You’ll need to visit a specific deletion page: Crunchyroll Account Deletion Page.
2. Why the Farewell? (Optional but Helpful): The page will present you with a survey asking why you’re deleting your account. Choosing a reason (or providing your own in the text box) helps Crunchyroll improve their services.
3. Confirmation is Key: Crunchyroll takes account security seriously. To confirm your identity, you’ll be asked to enter your account password.
4. The Final Goodbye: Click the big red button that says “Deactivate Now.” A pop-up window will appear, asking for one last confirmation before your account is permanently deleted.

Remember: Once you confirm deletion, your account is gone forever. You won’t be able to recover your watch history, favorites, or any other data associated with the account.
