How do I delete my account/profile?

Understand what fully deleting your Ashley Madison account means, and the steps required to do so on desktop, mobile web, and iOS.

Updated over a week ago

Fully deleting your account/profile will:

  • Remove your profile from the search results;

  • Remove your profile from the Ashley Madison site;

  • Remove your messages (both sent and received);

  • Remove any usage history and/or personal information stored on our site;

  • Remove your photos; and

  • Forfeit any remaining credit balance.

Remember, you can always temporarily deactivate your profile instead of deleting it completely. This way, you can hide your profile from members, keep any credits in your account, and easily reactivate if you decide to come back within 12 months.

Desktop or Mobile Web

  1. Click on the three horizontal pink lines [☰] in the top-left corner;

  2. Then on Settings;

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page;
