# Deleting your account

Learn who can delete a ProductiveRecruit account, what a permanent deletion actually removes, and the steps to do it safely.

Deleting your account is permanent: it removes your login and everything tied to it, with no recovery option. Read this in full before you click through, especially if you're on a paid plan.

## Who can delete their own account

Only a **standalone athlete account** (an athlete who isn't part of an organization) can self-delete from Account Settings. If you're an org admin, org staff member, or an athlete registered under an organization, you won't see this option. The account is managed at the organization level. [Contact support](mailto:support@productiverecruit.com) to close an organization account or remove an org-affiliated athlete.

## Where to find it

Go to **Account Settings** and scroll to the **DANGER ZONE** card at the bottom of the page. The subheading is direct about what's coming: "This action is irreversible and will delete your account and all associated data."

Click **Delete Account** to open the confirmation modal.

The modal repeats the same warning and asks you to confirm with **Confirm Account Deletion**, or back out with **Cancel**.

## What actually gets deleted

Once you confirm, deletion is immediate. There's no cooling-off period, no confirmation email, and no export-your-data step first. Your account record and everything connected to it (profile, target list, email templates, checklists, and related data) is permanently removed, not just archived or hidden.

Before confirming, check your billing status. Deleting your account doesn't automatically walk you through canceling an active subscription, so if you're on a paid plan, it's worth reviewing or canceling it in [Billing](/docs/billing/billing) first to make sure you're not still being billed.

## After deletion

You'll see a confirmation that your account has been deleted, and you're signed out and returned to the login page. There's no way to sign back in and no support path to restore a deleted account — it's gone for good.

## What's next

- Review your plan and payment status in [Account settings](/docs/billing/account-settings) before you delete.
- If you just want to stop being billed (not lose your data), see [Billing](/docs/billing/billing) instead.
- Understand exactly what's removed in [What happens to my data when I delete my account?](/docs/faq/data-on-deletion)
