# Delete your account

> Understand what permanent account deletion removes and how to request it from CalBudget Settings.

Account deletion permanently removes your consumer CalBudget account data. This is different from deleting a budget account, canceling a subscription, or resetting the product walkthrough.

<Warning>
  Account deletion cannot be undone. Export or copy anything you need before deleting your account.
</Warning>

## What deletion removes

Deleting your account removes data tied to your CalBudget user record, including:

* Profile
* Budget accounts
* Categories
* Transactions
* Bookmarks
* Debt planner data
* Support tickets
* Feedback
* Onboarding events
* Queued emails
* Billing customer record

CalBudget also attempts to remove linked external access that belongs to the account, including website billing records and connected Plaid access when present.

## Before you delete

<Steps>
  <Step title="Cancel or review billing">
    If you subscribed through the website, open Settings, then Billing, and review the Stripe subscription. If you subscribed through the App Store, manage that subscription in Apple's subscription settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save anything you need">
    Account deletion is permanent. Keep any records you need before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Contact support if billing or bank cleanup fails">
    If CalBudget cannot cancel billing or disconnect Plaid automatically, the app will ask you to contact support before deletion finishes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Delete from Settings

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    From the calendar, open the profile menu and choose Settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Account">
    Choose the Account tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm with your password">
    Enter your current password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Type &#x22;DELETE&#x22;">
    Type `DELETE` exactly as shown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Delete permanently">
    Choose Delete my account permanently. CalBudget removes the account data, signs you out, and returns you to the home page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What deletion does not mean

Deleting your CalBudget account is not the same as:

* Deleting one budget account from the calendar
* Canceling only a subscription while keeping your data
* Hiding Navigator or turning off a setting
* Deleting a CalBudget Business workspace

<Note>
  CalBudget Business workspaces are handled separately from personal CalBudget accounts. Contact support if you need help with a business workspace.
