How do I delete my Spotify account?
You can delete your Spotify account by heading into your account settings and choosing to close your account and delete your data. Just be aware, once it's gone, you won't be able to use that account to access Spotify Free anymore. You'll also lose any purchased audiobooks or concert tickets, so double-check if your tickets can be transferred before pulling the plug.
After you close your account, Spotify will email you a link which you can use to reactivate it within seven days. If you don't use that link within those seven days, you can't reactivate your account anymore, and Spotify will begin the process to delete your data.
You can use the same email address to create a new account after 14 days from the date of closing your account.
That's all you need to know to cancel Spotify. Of course, even without paying, you can still listen to Spotify for free, but you'll need to be patient with a few adverts here and there.
