Deleting a Peacock profile removes your account and all associated data from the streaming service

To delete your Peacock profile, you need to go into your account settings on the Peacock website or app and select the option to delete or deactivate your account. The exact steps depend on whether you're using a web browser, phone app, or connected device. Peacock will ask you to confirm the deletion, and once you do, your profile, watch history, saved shows, and login credentials are removed from their servers.

Keep in mind that deleting your profile is permanent — you cannot recover a deleted account. If you have an active subscription, canceling your profile will also end your access to Peacock content. If you're unsure whether you want to delete permanently, you can pause your subscription instead, which keeps your account intact but stops charging you.

Key Takeaways

  • Deleting your Peacock profile is permanent and cannot be undone, so make sure you want to remove your account before confirming.
  • You can delete your profile through the account settings menu on the Peacock website, mobile app, or by contacting Peacock support.
  • If you have an active paid subscription, your access to Peacock content will end when ready when you delete your profile.
  • Pausing your subscription is a reversible option if you want to stop paying but keep your account and watch history available later.

Delete Your Profile on the Peacock Website

Open a web browser and go to Peacock.com, then sign in with your email and password. Once you're logged in, click on your profile icon or account menu, usually located in the top right corner of the screen. Look for a settings or account option in the dropdown menu.

In your account settings, scroll down to find the option labeled "Delete Account," "Close Account," or "Deactivate Account" — the exact wording varies. Click on that option, and Peacock will show you a confirmation screen explaining that deletion is permanent and will end your access to all content. Read through the message, then click the button to confirm deletion. Your profile will be removed when ready.

Delete Your Profile on the Peacock Mobile App

Open the Peacock app on your phone or tablet and sign in if you're not already logged in. Tap the profile icon, usually shown as a circle with your initials or a generic user symbol, normally in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Tap "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the menu that appears. Scroll down through the settings options until you find "Delete Account" or "Close Account." Tap that option, review the confirmation message, and tap the button to confirm. The app will log you out and your profile will be deleted. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the app if you want to create a new Peacock account later.

Delete Your Profile on a Connected Device

If you use Peacock on a smart TV, Roku, Apple TV, or another connected device, the deletion process is different because you cannot access account settings the same way. Instead, sign in to Peacock.com on a computer or phone using the steps above, delete your account through the website, and your profile will be removed from all connected devices automatically.

If you want to remove Peacock from a specific device without deleting your entire account, you can sign out of the app on that device. This removes your login information from that device but keeps your account active on other devices and on the website.

What Happens After You Delete Your Profile

Once deletion is complete, you lose access to all Peacock content when ready. Your watch history, saved shows, watchlists, and any custom preferences are permanently erased. If you had a paid subscription, it ends right away and you will not be charged again.

If you paid for Peacock through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, deleting your Peacock profile does not automatically cancel that subscription. You will need to cancel the subscription through the third-party service separately to stop being charged. Check your Apple, Google, or Amazon account settings to manage those subscriptions.

Pause Your Subscription Instead of Deleting

If you're not ready to delete permanently, you can pause your Peacock subscription instead. This stops your charges but keeps your account, watch history, and saved shows intact. To pause, go to account settings on the website or app, find the subscription section, and look for a "Pause Subscription" or "Pause Membership" option.

When you pause, Peacock will ask you how long you want to pause — usually for one, three, or six months. After that period ends, your subscription will automatically resume unless you cancel it. You can resume your subscription early at any time by going back into your account settings and selecting "Resume Subscription."

Contact Peacock Support if You Cannot Delete

If you cannot find the delete option in your account settings or the deletion process is not working, you can contact Peacock support through their website. Go to Peacock.com, scroll to the bottom of the page, and look for a "Help" or "Contact Us" link. Select the option to contact support by email or chat.

Explain that you want to delete your account and describe any problems you encountered. Peacock support can delete your account manually if the self-service option is not available. This process may take a few business days to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover my Peacock profile after I delete it?

No, deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed. Once you confirm deletion, your profile, watch history, saved shows, and account information are permanently removed from Peacock's servers. If you want to use Peacock again in the future, you will need to create a new account.

Will deleting my Peacock profile cancel my subscription?

Yes, deleting your profile ends your subscription when ready and stops all charges. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video, you still need to cancel that subscription separately through those services to prevent future charges.

What's the difference between deleting and pausing my subscription?

Deleting removes your entire account permanently. Pausing keeps your account active but stops charges for a set period — usually one to six months. After the pause ends, you're charged again unless you cancel. Pausing is reversible; deletion is not.

Do I lose my watch history if I delete my profile?

Yes, your entire watch history, saved shows, watchlists, and all custom settings are permanently deleted along with your profile. There is no way to recover this information after deletion.

Can I delete my profile if I'm using a free trial?

Yes, you can delete your profile at any time, whether you're on a free trial or a paid subscription. Deletion removes your account when ready and prevents any charges from being applied when the trial ends.
