Deleting your Perplexity account completely

You have two ways to delete your account fully.
Delete Perplexity account yourself
You can initiate data deletion directly from your account settings, without the need to contact support or submit a separate request.
All account and personal data will be permanently deleted after 30 days. During this period, the account remains disabled and scheduled for erasure.
After 30 days the account deletion is irreversible.
If you sign in again using the same email after 30 days, a new, empty account will be created, and your previous data will not be restored.
If you sign into your account using the same email before the 30 days, your request to delete your account will be automatically removed.

Sign into the account and visit: https://www.perplexity.ai/account/details or click on the bottom left corner and then select my account.
