Delete a Paramount Plus profile from your account settings

To delete a profile on Paramount Plus, go to your account settings, select the profile you want to remove, and choose the delete option. The process takes about two minutes and permanently removes that profile's watch history, preferences, and saved content. You cannot undo this action once it is complete.

You must be signed in as the account owner or have admin access to delete a profile. If someone else created the account, you will need their permission or login credentials. Paramount Plus allows multiple profiles on a single account, so deleting one does not affect the others.

Key Takeaways

  • Profile deletion is permanent and removes all watch history and saved shows for that profile only.
  • Only the account owner or an admin can delete profiles; standard users cannot remove their own profiles.
  • The steps differ slightly depending on whether you are using a web browser, mobile app, or streaming device.
  • Deleting a profile does not cancel your Paramount Plus subscription or affect other profiles on the same account.

Delete a profile on the Paramount Plus website

Sign in to your Paramount Plus account at paramountplus.com using the account owner's email and password. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.

On the Account page, scroll down to the "Profiles" section. You will see a list of all profiles on your account. Find the profile you want to delete and click the three-dot menu icon next to it. Select "Delete Profile" from the options that appear. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm the deletion. Click "Delete" again to complete the action.

Delete a profile on the Paramount Plus mobile app

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and sign in with the account owner's credentials. Tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen, then tap "Account Settings."

Look for the "Profiles" option in the settings menu. Tap on the profile you want to remove. You should see a "Delete Profile" button or option. Tap it and confirm when the app asks you to verify the deletion. The profile will be removed when ready.

Delete a profile on streaming devices and smart TVs

The steps vary depending on your device. On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast, sign in to your Paramount Plus account, navigate to Settings, and look for a Profiles or Account section. Select the profile you want to delete and choose the delete or remove option.

On PlayStation and Xbox, open Paramount Plus, go to Account Settings, find Profiles, and select the profile to remove. The exact menu names and button locations differ by device, but the general path is always Settings or Account, then Profiles, then Delete. If you cannot find the Profiles section on your device, you can delete the profile through the website instead, and it will disappear from that device automatically.

What happens when you delete a profile

Deleting a profile removes all data associated with that profile: watch history, saved shows, watchlist items, and personalized recommendations. The profile name and icon disappear from the profile selection screen on all devices where that account is signed in.

The account itself remains active, and your subscription does not change. Other profiles on the same account keep their own separate watch history and preferences. If you delete a profile by mistake, you will need to create a new profile and rebuild the watch history from scratch — Paramount Plus does not restore deleted profiles.

Reasons to delete a profile

You might delete a profile if a family member no longer uses the account, if you want to remove a child's profile after they move out, or if you are sharing an account and want to clean up unused profiles. Some people delete profiles to reset recommendations if they watched content they do not want reflected in future suggestions.

If you are trying to stop someone from accessing your account entirely, deleting their profile is not enough — you should change your account password and sign them out of all devices. Deleting a profile only removes their viewing history and preferences; it does not log them out or prevent them from creating a new profile if they know the account password.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my own profile if I am not the account owner?

No. Only the account owner or someone with admin access can delete profiles. If you want your profile removed, ask the account owner to delete it for you. Standard users cannot remove their own profiles or anyone else's.

Will deleting a profile cancel my Paramount Plus subscription?

No. Deleting a profile does not affect your subscription or billing. Your account remains active, and you can continue watching on other profiles. Only canceling the subscription itself will stop your service.

Can I recover a deleted profile?

No. Paramount Plus does not restore deleted profiles. If you delete a profile by mistake, you will need to create a new one. The watch history and saved content from the deleted profile cannot be recovered.

What if I delete a profile and then want to use that name again?

You can create a new profile with the same name after deleting the old one. The new profile will start with empty watch history and no saved content. There is no limit to how many times you can create and delete profiles on the same account.

Do I need to delete a profile before canceling Paramount Plus?

No. You can cancel your subscription without deleting any profiles. If you cancel and later resubscribe with the same account, your profiles and watch history will still be there. Deleting profiles is optional and separate from canceling your subscription.
