Want to delete your OnlyFans account?
The process is straightforward, but there are important steps to take before you delete and things to understand about what deletion means.
This guide covers everything: the steps to delete your account, what you should do before deleting, what happens to your data and content, and how deletion differs from deactivation.
Deleting your OnlyFans account is permanent. Take these steps first.
If you have earnings in your OnlyFans account, withdraw them before deleting.
Important timing: If you have active subscribers, your account may need to remain open until their subscription periods end so you can receive final payments. OnlyFans may delay deletion until financial obligations are complete.
Once your account is deleted, all your uploaded content is gone. Download everything you want to keep:
Save this content to your computer, external drive, or cloud storage before deletion.
If you have an audience, consider letting them know before disappearing:
This maintains goodwill and allows subscribers to follow you elsewhere.
Before deleting your account, turn off auto-renew for all active subscriptions:
While deletion should eventually stop all charges, manually cancelling first is safer.
Any content you have access to will be gone after deletion. If you want to keep content you paid for, save it before deleting your account.
Here are the exact steps to permanently delete your account.
Go to onlyfans.com in your web browser and log in to your account. Account deletion must be done through the web browser, not a mobile app.
Click on your profile picture or icon to open the menu. Select "Settings" from the options.
In the Settings menu, look for "Account" or navigate to the account section.
Scroll down to find the account management section. Look for "Delete Account" or similar wording.
OnlyFans will ask you to complete a security check, usually a CAPTCHA. This confirms a human is making the request, not an automated script.
A final confirmation will appear warning that this action is permanent and cannot be undone. Confirm that you want to delete your account.
After confirming, OnlyFans sends an email confirming your deletion request has been received and is being processed.
Understanding the effects of deletion helps you prepare.
Access ends: You can no longer log in to your account.

OnlyFans does not offer a traditional deactivation option like some other platforms. The deletion is permanent.
If you want a break without permanent deletion:
However, there is no formal "pause" or "deactivate" feature that preserves your account in a hidden state.
