This wikiHow teaches you how to close permanently your Spotify account. Since the Spotify mobile app doesn't allow you to delete your account, you'll need to use a computer to do this. If you have a Spotify Premium subscription, you'll need to cancel it before you can close your Spotify account.

Community Q&A

Question

How do I change my Spotify username?

Community Answer

Once you have set your username, it cannot be changed. But it's possible to delete your old account and create a new one with your new username.
Question

How do I close my Spotify account?

Community Answer

You can check in the settings, and see if you can close it on your own. If you are unable to, you may have to contact their customer service to close your account.
Question

What's the difference between cancelling my subscription and cancelling my account permanently?

Community Answer

Cancelling your subscription would mean ending your access to Spotify premium, the pay service, whereas cancelling or deleting your account would be close the account entirely and you'd no longer have access to Spotify at all.

Warnings

Once your Spotify account is closed and past the reactivation window, you won't be able to recover any account information, playlists, followers, or your username should you sign up again.
