Deleting your Wattpad account is a straightforward process that involves a few simple steps. Follow the instructions below to permanently close your Wattpad account:
Access Your Account Settings
To begin the account deletion process, log in to your Wattpad account. Once logged in, click on your username located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Select the Settings Option
After clicking on your username, a dropdown menu will appear. From the menu, select the “Settings” option to access your account settings.
Navigate to Account Closure
Scroll down the settings page until you reach the bottom. Here, you will find the “Close Account” option on the right-hand side.
Initiate the Account Closure Process
Click on the “Close Account” button to begin the account deletion process. You will be prompted to provide some mandatory information before proceeding.
Confirm Your Decision
Ensure that you are certain about closing your account. To confirm, check the box that says, ‘Yes, I’m sure. Please close my account’.
Enter Your Password
For security purposes, you will need to enter your account password to verify your identity and authorize the closure of your Wattpad account.
Finalize the Deletion Process
Once you have provided all the required information and confirmed your decision, proceed by clicking the final confirmation button to permanently delete your Wattpad account.
Review Your Decision
Before finalizing the deletion process, take a moment to review your decision. Ensure that you have backed up any important data or stories stored on your account as they will be permanently lost after deletion.
Wait for Confirmation
After submitting the request to close your account, Wattpad will process your request. You will receive a confirmation email once your account has been successfully deleted.
Consider Alternative Options
If you are unsure about permanently deleting your account, consider deactivating it temporarily instead. Deactivation allows you to take a break while retaining the option to reactivate your account in the future.
