OpenAI is the company behind the groundbreaking language model ChatGPT and other cutting-edge AI technologies. While their products and services can be incredibly useful, you may reach a point where you decide to part ways with OpenAI for any number of reasons. If that’s the case, OpenAI allows
you to permanently delete your account along with any associated data.
What Happens When You Delete Your OpenAI Account?
Deleting your OpenAI account is an irreversible action that will permanently remove all data and information tied to your account. Specifically, when you request account deletion:
- Your account profile will be permanently removed – This includes your username, profile picture, bio, and any other personal information associated with your OpenAI account.
- All of your data and content will be deleted – Any AI models you’ve trained, datasets you’ve uploaded, or other content you’ve created through OpenAI’s services will be permanently erased.
- You will lose access to paid services and billing – If you had an active subscription or made any purchases through OpenAI, all billing information and payment history will also be permanently deleted.
In short, deleting your OpenAI account is akin to completely erasing your presence and usage history from their platform. It’s crucial to understand there is no way to recover any of your account data or content once the deletion process is complete.
How to Permanently Delete Your OpenAI Account
If you’re ready to say goodbye to OpenAI for good, follow these steps to delete your account:
- Log into your OpenAI account at openai.com

It’s worth emphasizing that once you finalize the above steps, the deletion is immediate and irreversible. There is no grace period or way to recover your OpenAI account or data once it has been permanently deleted.
If you ever wish to use OpenAI’s services again in the future after deleting your account, you’ll need to sign up for an entirely new account from scratch.
