If you find you are no longer using Spotify , you can delete your account. However, you can only delete your Spotify account on the Spotify website through an internet browser - not on the mobile app.

Important: You can only delete your Spotify account if you use the free version. If you have a Premium subscription, you'll have to cancel it first, and then you can delete your account.

Before closing your account, make sure you're aware of the repercussions. You can also cancel your subscription without deleting your account altogether, and only use the free version of Spotify.

If you do close your account, you won't be able to use your current username with Spotify again; you can, however, create a new account with the same email address. Additionally, you won't have access to your playlists and followers anymore and you'll lose all the music you've saved to your library.

Here's how to close your Spotify account and erase your saved music.

How to delete your Spotify account

To delete your Spotify account, go to the Contact Spotify Support page and click Account. Then click "I want to close my account." Keep clicking "Continue" until you get a confirmation email with a link to permanently close your account.

Here's a full step-by-step guide:
