You can easily delete your account without help if you are a Spotify free account user. But to delete Spotify premium accounts, you need to go through some checks and extra verification steps through the customer support bot. This is important to ensure the safety of your account.
Furthermore, Spotify does not allow you to delete your account directly from the app for a reason best known to them. The only way to permanently delete your account is by using the customer support page. A link to the official support page has been given in the guide below.
How to delete Spotify free account
The process of deleting a free Spotify account is straightforward. You don’t need any technical knowledge to execute this, and it doesn’t take much time. What you need is just a web browser and sprinkle some patience.

- Go to the Spotify account closure page. Linked Here.
- There, you will be asked if you need to close your account. Click on Close account.
- Now you will be asked to confirm your account details. Check if the details are correct and click “Continue.” This will go on for the next three steps. Read the instructions and click on continue.

That’s the last step. As you know, losing subscribers is not what any streaming service wants. So Spotify will send you another mail saying a final goodbye to their favorite subscriber. You can reactivate your account within seven days if you change your mind.
In addition, Spotify won’t allow you to use the same username any time you wish to return to the service. But you can create a new account with the same email address.
