Delete your account through the Paramount Plus website or app
To delete your Paramount Plus account, log in to your account on the Paramount Plus website or open the app, go to your account settings, and select the option to cancel or delete your account. The process takes a few minutes and permanently removes your account, your watch history, and any saved preferences. You will lose access to all content when ready.
Before you delete, read or write down any information you want to keep — Paramount Plus does not send you a copy of your watch history or saved shows after deletion. If you share your account with family members, they will also lose access once the account is gone.
Key Takeaways
- You can delete your account from the Paramount Plus website or mobile app by going to account settings and selecting the delete or cancel option.
- Deletion is permanent and when ready — you lose access to all content right away, and Paramount Plus does not restore deleted accounts.
- If you are on a paid subscription, canceling your account stops future charges but does not refund money already paid for the current billing period.
- If you share your account with others, they will no longer be able to watch anything once you delete it.
- You can pause your subscription instead of deleting if you want to keep your account and watch history but stop paying temporarily.
Step-by-step deletion on a computer or web browser
Open Paramount Plus in your web browser and sign in with your email and password. Click on your profile icon or account menu, usually located in the top right corner of the page. Select "Account Settings" or "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to find the option labeled "Cancel Subscription," "Deactivate Account," or "Delete Account" — the exact wording varies depending on your account type and region. Click that option and follow the prompts. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm that you want to delete your account and may offer you a discount to stay. Select the final confirmation button to complete the deletion. Your account will be removed within a few minutes.
Step-by-step deletion on the Paramount Plus app
Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone or tablet and tap the profile icon, usually in the bottom right corner. Select "Account" or "Settings." Look for an option that says "Cancel Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or "Account Settings."
Tap that option and scroll to find the delete or cancel button. The app may direct you to the website to complete the deletion, or it may let you finish in the app itself. Follow the on-screen instructions and confirm your choice when prompted. Once confirmed, your account will be deleted.
What happens to your subscription charges after deletion
If you are on a paid monthly or annual subscription, deleting your account stops all future charges when ready. However, Paramount Plus does not refund the money you have already paid for your current billing period. For example, if you paid for a month on the 1st and delete your account on the 15th, you do not get a refund for the remaining half month.
If you want to avoid losing money on your current billing period, check your next billing date before you delete. You can also pause your subscription instead of deleting it — pausing stops charges without removing your account, watch history, or saved shows. When you are ready to return, you can reactivate your account.
Pausing your subscription instead of deleting
If you are not sure whether you want to delete permanently, consider pausing your subscription first. When you pause, your account stays active, your watch history and saved shows remain, and you stop being charged. You can reactivate your account at any time without losing anything.
To pause, go to your account settings the same way you would to delete, but select "Pause Subscription" or "Pause Account" instead of delete. Paramount Plus will ask how long you want to pause — typically you can pause for up to three months. After that time, your subscription will automatically restart unless you pause it again.
Recovering a deleted account
Paramount Plus does not restore deleted accounts. Once you confirm deletion, your account, watch history, saved shows, and all preferences are gone permanently. If you change your mind later, you will have to create a brand new account from scratch.
If you deleted your account by mistake, contact Paramount Plus customer service right away — they may be able to help if you reach out within a short window, though recovery is not may provide. You can reach support through the Paramount Plus website or through the app's help section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I delete my account mid-month?
No. Paramount Plus does not refund unused portions of your current billing period. If you want to avoid losing money, wait until just before your next billing date to delete, or pause your subscription instead.
Can I delete my account if I still owe money?
Yes, you can delete your account even if you have an outstanding balance. However, Paramount Plus may pursue collection of the debt separately. If you have a billing dispute, contact customer service before deleting to resolve it.
What happens to my family members' access if I delete the account?
Anyone using your account will lose access when ready. If you share your account, let them know before you delete so they can set up their own accounts if they want to continue watching.
Can I delete my account from the Paramount Plus app?
Yes, you can start the deletion process in the app, though it may redirect you to the website to finish. You can also delete from the website using any web browser.
How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?
Your account is usually deleted within a few minutes of confirmation. In rare cases it may take up to 24 hours. You will lose access to all content when ready, even if the account is still processing in the background.
