How to delete your Paramount Plus account
To delete your Paramount Plus account, sign in to your account on the Paramount Plus website, go to Account Settings, select "Cancel Subscription," and then choose "Delete Account" from the cancellation menu. The process takes a few minutes and permanently removes your account, viewing history, and saved content. You can delete your account whether your subscription is active or already cancelled.
Paramount Plus does not charge a fee to delete your account. Once deleted, you cannot recover your account or any saved watchlists, so read or note any information you want to keep before you proceed.
Key Takeaways
- You must sign in to your Paramount Plus account on a web browser to delete it; the mobile app does not have a delete option.
- Deleting your account is permanent and removes all your viewing history, saved shows, and watchlists.
- You can delete your account at any time, whether your subscription is currently active or already cancelled.
- If you want to keep your account but stop paying, cancelling your subscription is separate from deleting your account.
Step-by-step deletion process
Open a web browser and go to the Paramount Plus website. Sign in with your email address and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or account menu, usually in the top right corner of the page, and click it.
From the dropdown menu, select "Account Settings" or "Settings." On the Account Settings page, scroll down until you find the "Cancel Subscription" or "Subscription" section. Click on it. Paramount Plus will show you options related to your subscription status. Select the option to cancel or end your subscription if you have not already done so.
After you cancel your subscription, look for a "Delete Account" button or link on the same page. Click it. Paramount Plus will ask you to confirm that you want to permanently delete your account. Read the warning carefully—this action cannot be undone. Click the final confirmation button to complete the deletion.
What happens after you delete your account
Once your account is deleted, you lose access to Paramount Plus when ready. You cannot sign in with that email address again, and all your saved shows, watchlists, and viewing history are permanently removed from Paramount Plus servers.
If you paid for your subscription using a credit card or other payment method, Paramount Plus will not charge you again after deletion. If you had an active subscription with time remaining, you do not receive a refund for unused time. Check your subscription end date before you delete to understand what you are giving up.
Difference between cancelling and deleting
Cancelling your subscription stops Paramount Plus from charging you, but your account remains active. You keep your profile, watchlist, and viewing history. You can sign back in later and reactivate your subscription without losing anything.
Deleting your account removes everything permanently. Your profile, watchlist, and all saved content are gone. You cannot recover them, and you cannot use that email address to create a new Paramount Plus account for 30 days after deletion.
If you are unsure whether you want to return to Paramount Plus later, cancel your subscription instead of deleting your account. Cancellation costs nothing and keeps your options open.
If you cannot find the delete option
The delete account option appears only on the Paramount Plus website when you access it through a web browser. The mobile app (iOS or Android) does not have a delete account feature. If you are using the app, open a web browser on your phone or computer and go to paramountplus.com instead.
If you are on the website and still cannot find the delete option, make sure you are signed in to the correct account. Some accounts created through third-party services (like Apple, Google, or Amazon) may have different account management pages. Try signing out completely, then signing back in to refresh the page.
If the delete button still does not appear, contact Paramount Plus customer support through the Help section of the website. They can confirm whether your account is may be able to access for deletion or explain any restrictions on your specific account.
What to do before you delete
Before you delete your account, write down any information you want to remember. Paramount Plus does not send you a copy of your watchlist or viewing history, so if you want to track which shows you were watching, save that list yourself.
Check whether you have any active rentals or purchases through Paramount Plus. Most accounts use subscription-only access, but if you have rented or bought individual titles, confirm that you have finished watching them. Deletion removes access to purchased content.
If you signed up for a free trial or promotional offer, deleting your account before the trial ends means you lose access when ready rather than at the end of the trial period. If you are still in a trial, decide whether you want to wait until the trial expires naturally.
Reactivating your account after deletion
You cannot reactivate a deleted Paramount Plus account. Once deleted, the account is gone permanently. However, you can create a new account using the same email address, but only after 30 days have passed since deletion.
When you create a new account, it will be a fresh start. You will not have access to your old watchlist, viewing history, or any other data from the deleted account. Your new account will be treated as a brand-new user account with no connection to the old one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I delete my account with time left on my subscription?
No. Paramount Plus does not issue refunds for unused subscription time when you delete your account. If you have an active subscription, you lose access to any remaining time. Check your subscription end date before you delete to see how much time you are giving up.
Can I delete my account from the Paramount Plus app?
No. 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 process is the same on a phone browser as on a computer.
What if I created my Paramount Plus account through Amazon Prime Video or Apple?
If you signed up through a third-party service, you may need to manage your account through that service instead. Try signing in to Paramount Plus directly and looking for account settings. If the delete option does not appear, contact Paramount Plus support—they can tell you whether your account type can be deleted through their website or through the third-party service.
Can I use the same email address again after I delete my account?
Not when ready. You must wait 30 days after deletion before you can create a new Paramount Plus account with the same email address. After 30 days, you can sign up again, but it will be a completely new account with no connection to your old one.
Does deleting my account remove my payment information from Paramount Plus?
Yes. When you delete your account, Paramount Plus removes your payment method and all associated billing information from their servers. Your payment details are not stored after deletion.
