How to Delete Your Pinterest Account
Deleting a Pinterest account is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few simple steps.
However, it’s important to note that once an account is deleted, it cannot be reactivated and all associated data, boards, pins, and followers will be permanently lost.
Here, we will provide a comprehensive guide on how to delete a Pinterest account, including tips on how to ensure that the process runs smoothly.
Step 1: Log in to your account
To begin, log in to your Pinterest account by visiting the website and entering your email address and password.
Step 2: Navigate to the settings page

Once logged in, click on the three dots icon located in the top right corner of the page.
Next, click on the “Settings” button to access the settings page, where you can manage your account information.
Step 3: Go To Account Management, Deactivate your account

Scroll down to the bottom of the settings page and click on the “Account Management” button.

This will take you to a page where you can deactivate your account.
Step 4: Confirm the deletion
Before proceeding with the deletion, Pinterest will prompt you to provide a reason for deleting your account and give you the option to temporarily deactivate your account.
If you are certain that you want to delete your account permanently, click on “Delete Account” and enter your password to confirm.
Step 5: Account deletion
After confirming the deletion, your account will be deactivated and you will be logged out of Pinterest.
According to the company’s policy, it will take 14 days for your account to be permanently deleted. It’s worth mentioning that you can only delete your account from a web browser, not from the mobile app.
Also, if you have logged in with Facebook or Google, you will not be able to delete your account. Deleting a Pinterest account is a simple process that can be completed in a few steps.
However, it’s important to remember that once an account is deleted, it cannot be reactivated and all associated data, boards, pins, and followers will be permanently lost.
To ensure a smooth process, make sure to log in to your account and have all the necessary information on hand before proceeding with the deletion.
