• To delete your Spotify account, you’ll need to use the Spotify website in an internet browser. 
• You can’t delete your Spotify account from the mobile app. 
• You also can’t delete your Spotify account if you have a subscription — you’ll need to cancel it first.

If you find you are no longer using Spotify, you can delete your account. However, you can only delete your Spotify account on the Spotify website through an internet browser — not on the mobile app. 

Before closing your account, make sure you’re aware of the repercussions. You can also cancel your subscription without deleting your account altogether, and only use the free version of Spotify. 

If you do close your account, you won’t be able to use your current username with Spotify again; you can, however, create a new account with the same email address. Additionally, you won’t have access to your playlists and followers anymore and you’ll lose all the music you’ve saved to your library.

Here’s how to close your Spotify account and erase your saved music.
