How to delete your beehiiv account

If you no longer wish to use the platform, it’s easy to delete your beehiiv account.

Since every account includes at least one workspace — where you manage your publications, team members, billing details, and more — you’ll need to delete or transfer ownership of all workspaces you own before you can delete your account. You will also need to remove any custom domains that are connected to publications or websites in your workspace.

While deleting your account is easy, it is also irreversible. The account associated with your email will be permanently deleted, and if you wish to use beehiiv in the future, you will need to create a new account and start over. 

If you are on a paid plan, as an alternative to deleting your account, you always have the option to downgrade your account to our free launch plan. This gives you the flexibility to return to beehiiv at any time, without any commitment, and without having to start over completely.

1. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of your account, then select Account Security from the dropdown.
   
   
   
2. If you still own a workspace, you’ll see an Account Profile Deletion prompt explaining that you must first delete or transfer ownership of all workspaces before proceeding.

• Click How do I transfer ownership to open the help article.
• Or click Take me to my workspace settings to manage your workspace directly and follow the steps outlined in this article.
  
  
  

3. Once all workspaces have been deleted or transferred, the Account Profile Deletion prompt will give you the option to click Delete Account. 
   
   
   
4. A confirmation prompt will appear explaining that deleting your account is permanent and you’ll no longer be able to log in with your current email. To continue, type DELETE into the field and click Continue.
   
   
   
5. A final confirmation will appear for you to review. Click Confirm to permanently delete your beehiiv account.
