To delete your Depop account, first finish or cancel any open orders, withdraw your balance and download any records you need. Then use the delete or close account option in the app's settings, or request deletion through Depop's help centre if you can't find the option. Deleting is usually permanent: your listings, reviews and history go with it. If you only want a break, pausing your shop is often the better choice.
Before you delete: a checklist
- Finish open orders. Ship everything that's sold and let open disputes or returns finish.
- Withdraw your balance. Money left in your balance may be hard to get back after deletion. See how to transfer your Depop balance to your bank account.
- Save your sales records. You may need them for taxes. See how to file Depop taxes and where to find your Depop tax form.
- Back up your listings, if you might sell elsewhere. See the Depop scraper listing backup guide.
- Cancel any linked subscriptions to third-party tools you used with Depop.
How to delete your account
- In the app: look in your profile settings for an option to delete or close your account, then follow the prompts.
- Through Depop support: if you can't find the option, submit a deletion request through Depop's help centre from your account's email address.
The exact menu names can change between app versions. If you can't find them, search "delete account" in Depop's help centre.
What happens after deletion
- Your shop, listings and profile are removed
- Your reviews and followers don't carry over to a new account
- Depop may keep some data for legal, tax or fraud reasons, as set out in its privacy policy
- You may not be able to reuse the same email or username straight away
Can you delete an account that's suspended?
You can usually still ask for deletion, but a suspended account may still have held funds or open cases that need resolving first. Contact support. See how long does a Depop suspension last.
Alternatives to deleting

- Sell somewhere else too: see how to cross-list Depop to Vinted
Thinking of quitting because selling takes too long?
Many sellers quit because listing takes so much time. DepopAutomation.com's AI listing tool fills every field from your photos, the bulk lister lists whole hauls, the relist feature refreshes old stock automatically, and the profit tracker shows what's actually worth selling. It might be worth trying before you close your shop.

What happens to my Depop balance? Withdraw it before you delete.
Will deleting stop me getting tax forms? Not necessarily. Save your records first anyway.
Conclusion
Before deleting your Depop account, finish your orders, withdraw your balance and save your sales records. Then use the delete option in settings or ask Depop support. If you just want a break, pause your shop instead.
