Delete your Funkwhale account

If you have decided you no longer want your Funkwhale account, you can delete it. This action removes your profile and all your data from your pod, including:

• Your user avatar.

• Your email address.

• The list of your followers.

• Music files you have uploaded.

• Radios you have created.

• Playlists you have created.

• Your favorites.

When you delete your account, your pod sends a message to other Funkwhale pods notifying them. If these pods hold any of your data, they should also delete it.

Note

Other pods should delete local copies of your data in compliance with your request. There is no guarantee that they will do so, and some data may remain available. This can happen if a pod is offline or unavailable when your pod sends out the deletion message.

Warning

When you delete your account we generate a Tombstone. Is a object that is used to prevent another person to create an account with the same username. So you will not be hable to create a new one with the same name. This is done to avoid impersonation. If you want to remove the Tombstone to be hable to create an account with the same name you should contact the instance admin.

To delete your account:

1. Log in to your account.

2. Select the cog icon () or your avatar to expand the user menu.

3. Select Settings.

4. Scroll to the Delete my account section.

5. Enter your Password.

6. Select Delete my account….

7. Select Delete my account on the warning notice that appears.

That’s it! You’ve deleted your account. You can create another account at any time.
