You can delete your Paramount Plus account through your account settings, and the process takes about five minutes

To delete your Paramount Plus account, sign in to your account on a web browser, go to your account settings, find the option to cancel or close your account, and follow the prompts to confirm. The account will be closed when ready, though you may still have access until your current billing period ends. If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, you will need to cancel through that platform instead of through Paramount Plus directly.

Before you delete, know that your watchlist, viewing history, and saved preferences will be permanently removed. Paramount Plus does not restore this information if you later decide to rejoin. If there are shows or movies you want to remember, take a screenshot of your watchlist or write down the titles before you proceed.

Key Takeaways

  • Deleting your account through the Paramount Plus website requires you to sign in, navigate to account settings, and select the option to close your account.
  • If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, cancellation happens in that app or service, not on the Paramount Plus website.
  • Your account closes right away, but you keep access through the end of your current billing cycle.
  • Your watchlist, viewing history, and saved preferences are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered after you close your account.

Deleting Your Account Through the Paramount Plus Website

Sign in to your Paramount Plus account at paramountplus.com using your email and password. Once you are logged in, look for the account menu—this is usually found by clicking your profile icon or name in the top right corner of the page.

From the account menu, select Account Settings or Settings. Scroll down until you find the option labeled Cancel Subscription, Close Account, or Delete Account—the exact wording varies slightly depending on when your account was created. Click this option and you will be asked to confirm your choice. Paramount Plus may show you a retention offer or ask why you are leaving; you can skip these and proceed to the final confirmation step.

Once you confirm, your account is closed. You will receive a confirmation email at the address associated with your account. If you paid for your subscription with a credit or debit card, the charges will stop when ready, though you will keep access to the service through the end of your current billing period.

Canceling a Subscription Through a Third-Party Platform

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, or another third-party service, you cannot delete your account from the Paramount Plus website. Instead, you must cancel through the platform where you signed up.

For Apple subscriptions: Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, tap your name at the top, select Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus in the list, and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play subscriptions: Open the Google Play app on your Android device, tap your profile icon, select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel subscription.

For Amazon Prime Video: Go to your Amazon account, select Your Account, then Prime Video Settings, find Paramount Plus under Manage Your Prime Video Channels, and select Cancel Channel. The cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period with that platform.

What Happens to Your Account After Deletion

Once you delete your account, you lose access to your watchlist, viewing history, and any saved preferences. Paramount Plus does not restore this information if you later decide to reopen an account. If there are shows or movies you want to remember, take a screenshot of your watchlist or write down the titles before you delete.

Your login credentials will no longer work when ready after deletion, though you may still be able to stream through the end of your current billing period if you have already paid. After that date, you will be logged out and cannot access any content. If you delete your account and later want to rejoin, you will need to create a new account from scratch. There is no way to reactivate a deleted account.

If You Want to Pause Instead of Delete

Paramount Plus does not offer an official pause or suspension feature, so your only options are to keep your subscription active or cancel it entirely. However, some third-party platforms do allow you to pause a subscription temporarily. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, check whether that platform offers a pause option before you cancel.

If you think you might return to Paramount Plus later, canceling is reversible—you can always sign up again with a new account. You will not lose anything by canceling except your watchlist and viewing history, which you can save before you go.

Troubleshooting If You Cannot Find the Delete Option

If you are signed in to your account but cannot find the cancel or delete option in your settings, try these steps: clear your browser's cache and cookies, then sign back in; try a different web browser; or try accessing your account on a mobile device instead of a desktop computer. Sometimes the interface differs slightly between devices.

If you still cannot find the option after trying these steps, Paramount Plus customer service can help you close your account. You can reach them through the Help section on the Paramount Plus website or by using the contact form there. Have your account email address ready when you contact them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I delete my account mid-billing cycle?

No, Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for the current billing period. Your account closes right away, but you keep access through the end of the month or year you already paid for. To avoid paying for an extra month, cancel a few days before your next billing date.

Can I delete my account if I still owe money?

Yes, you can cancel your account even if there is an outstanding balance. However, Paramount Plus may pursue collection of the unpaid amount. It is better to pay any balance first, then cancel.

What if I subscribed through a cable or phone provider?

If Paramount Plus came bundled with your cable, satellite, or phone service, you cannot delete it through the Paramount Plus website. Contact your service provider to remove Paramount Plus from your account.

Can I delete my account on the Paramount Plus app?

The mobile app does not have a delete account option. You must use a web browser to go to paramountplus.com, sign in, and delete your account from there. The only exception is if you subscribed through the app itself—then you cancel through your device's app store or subscription settings.

How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?

Your account closes when ready after you confirm deletion, and you will receive a confirmation email within a few minutes. Paramount Plus may take up to 30 days to remove your data from their servers, but your account is no longer active right away.
