Although it's no longer possible to delete your account in the Patreon app, you can submit a deletion request through the Privacy Center. This wikiHow will teach you how to delete a Patreon account using a web browser. It may take up to 30 days before your account is deleted, so if you have a recurring subscription that you don't want to pay for, you cancel it before you submit your account for deletion.
