Delete your account

#How to delete it

Go to Settings → Danger zone → Delete account. The page lists what goes and what stays for your account, then asks for two things:

1. Confirm it's you. Deleting needs a sign-in from the last 10 minutes. If yours is older, press Send me a sign-in link — the email brings you straight back to the page.
2. Type your username (or your email address, if you never picked a username), then press Delete my account.

Deletion happens at once. There's no grace period and no undo. You can try at most three times an hour.

#What's deleted

• Your trades, accounts, Days, journal notes and charts.
• Your strategies, rules, tags, sessions and stats.
• Your goals, your Why board and its images, and your notes (Personal → Notes) and their images.
• Your posts, comments, likes, follows and stories, and your messages in group chats.
• Your profile, your trader page (your /@username link stops working right away) and your uploads — avatar, card backgrounds and exported cards.
• Groups you own that have no other members.

#What's kept

• Groups with other members are handed to their longest-standing admin — or, if there's no admin, their longest-standing member.
• Direct messages stay for the other person. You show as Deleted user with a plain avatar and no profile, your images in the conversation are removed, and nobody can send new messages there.
• Reports you filed stay, without your name, so moderators can finish reviewing them.
• Feedback you sent (suggestions and bug reports) stays, without your name. Screenshots you attached are deleted.
• Paid affiliate payout records (amounts, dates and where they were paid) stay for bookkeeping.
• Paddle, which sells Ink's subscriptions, keeps its own payment records.
• Usage counts (for example, that a dashboard was opened) stay, with nothing linking them to you.
• Your username stays reserved for 90 days, so nobody can take it to pose as you.

#Pro and billing

• Paid Pro: your subscription is canceled immediately. Paid in the last 14 days? You can still request a full refund — see Refunds. If Paddle can't cancel it, nothing is deleted — try again later or email support@inklyn.app.
• Free Pro (a beta or student grant) ends with the account; it can't be moved to a new one.

#Unpaid affiliate commission

If you're an affiliate with commission that hasn't been paid out yet — pending, available, or a withdrawal you requested — the page shows the amount. Request a payout first and wait for it, or tick I give up this unpaid commission to delete now: requested withdrawals are canceled and the money is forfeited. See Commissions and payouts.

#If it doesn't finish

If something interrupts a deletion after you confirmed it, Settings shows Account deletion in progress — finishing automatically within 1 hour. It finishes on its own, or press Finish now. Afterwards you land on a page that says Your account is deleted.
