Have you decided that myspace is not your thing? This will remove your myspace account or profile. If you do not like your current myspace profile, this is also an excellent way to start from scratch. Tutorial updated October 4, 2008.

Oh, myspace. Everybody thinks they need an account. Of course, those party pictures of you may get yourself in big trouble one day.

An alternative to deleting your account is just to make it private.

By the way, this will remove your myspace forever (4evar!). You’ll lose your friends, comments, blogs, pictures, etc. You have been warned.

Here is how to nuke your myspace account/profile:

1. First log into myspace
2. Click the My Account link on your page

3. Click the Account link

4. Click the Cancel My Account link in the Account Cancellation section

5. Confirm by pressing the Cancel My Account button

You are now removed from myspace!

MySpace has changed the process a bit, here’s an update on how to Cancel Your Account.

How Do you get the sign in pop up off?????????????????
Every time I turn my computer on the stupid thing comes up.
I don't remember my info so I can't sign in or get into my account to cancel it.

Silvy

I did the instruction, but my account can't deleted...
the last comment are :
Your request to cancel your MySpace account has been sent. You will receive an email shortly with instructions for confirming that you wish to cancel.
You must follow the instructions in that email to complete cancellation of your account. Thank you.
But nothing confirmation email coming to my inbox, so.. what should i do now ?

FIga

Check your spam folder. Messages from myspace get caught in spam folders all the time.

In your myspace account settings, also make sure you have a correct, active email address.

Good luck.

Dyllan

U should ask the myspace peoples to send the email again

kris

how can you request the email again if you have no accept to the account

We are not myspace. We are just providing you with directions on how to remove your myspace account.

Lucinda

can you delete my myspace please.

aj

yes ill need ur myspace email and password and ur yahoo password and email

bliss

after step 2, there is no way for me to go on... i cannot find the Account link... i think myspace changed its setup and deliberately took out the cancel account feature.

davak

Yeah, that must have just changed it! Thanks for letting us know. When we find the new method for deleting a myspace account, we'll update this tutorial.

Tanya

I want to start over with my myspace account and close out of this one but can't rember my user name or password?

chani

thank you i found it very helpfull.

vdgsd

I think that it should automaticlly delete your profile after a year or so of constently not going on it.

wa-wa-wee-woo

nope--i just checked one i made in '05.
I haven't been there since I first made it.
It's still there.
Fortunately, I didn't use my real name or age or much else in the way of real personal info -- i always knew that these social networking sites would end up being used for bad purposes.
They're a gold mine for "big brother !

debbie

i delited my account , i cant sign in now but every is still going on my profile page. when will my profile be gone?

april

I tried deleting myspace and it told me to go to my email and follow directions I tried going to my email and i didn't have any mail to follow directions i went to forgot my password it gave me a password and the password that they are giving me is not working to sign in I don't know where to go from here.CAN YON HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

deb

I did exactly the same thing. The email came to my inbox, I clicked on the link as directed (to confirm the cancellation), it just took me back to the myspace home page. I didn't want to log in yet again. So I clicked on the second link in the email, sent the required info and it said technical error or something.
This is really really frustrating. It's not even my account, it's my daughter's and she wants it gone.

PRECiOUS

HoW dO yOU dELETE AN ACCOUNT YOU FORGOT ?

Sofie Paredes

I am extremely concerned about my minor child (15 years old) having created a Myspace without parental consent. I do not approve of the content that my child has on Myspace, nor do I approve that he has a Myspace account. As an extremely concerned parent, do I have the right to have my child's Myspace removed from the website? If so, will you help me remove it? My child refuses to give me the password or e-mail address that was used to create the account; therefore, I cannot access Myspace. Can you PLEASE HELP ME?

sara

okinawa

How do you cancel your myspace account if you don't have access to the email address that you registered with? My old email is no longer accessible... (an old work email where I no longer work).

Sissy

According to the myspace site you have to send them a SALUTE and email requesting account deletion. The details can be found in their help section. It involves sending a photo of yourself holding paper with certain info on it. A pain, but I don't have access to my old email, so I'm going to have to do it. If there's another way, please post.

BEVERLY

mikeo_03

hey i tried deleting my account and it always tells me they will send a confirmation email so i can delete my account but it never came...i also tried a salute and i did the other thing they told me which was to delete all the stuff on my profile and type in my about me "REMOVE PROFILE" and let them know i did it and they would delete it but they never did...so is there any other way to delete my account? im pretty sure if i had the link they send you in the confirmation email i could delete it by messing around with the url and stuff but i really dont know what else to do i tried everything..so is there any other way to delete my account?

Lorenzo

Thanks!

Kevin

Im getting tired of canceling my myspace account but it doesnt work. Can you help me, please?

Saria The Dragoness

Yeah Ive had the same problem, I've been trying to delete an old myspace Account that I don't want anymore, Since I have a new and better one, Kinda want it gone, and i've tried sending it to the my old email address and it doesn't work I've even tried switching the email to get it onto a different email to delete it, it just doesn't get it on my old email address. I suppose I'll just leave it until some body hacks it or it get's deleted from inactive use from Myspace. Well so pointless. -Saria The Dragoness

Saria The Dragoness

Oh you can remove yor profile by doing this aswell.... Important stuff to know:
if you don't have access to the Email address tied to your MySpace profile, but you can still log-in, mouse over Profile (in the upper nav bar), choose Edit Profile (from the drop-down menu), remove all the content from the About Me content box, type "REMOVE PROFILE" in the About Me section and Contact MySpace (on the right). Tell us to delete your profile (be sure to include your friend ID or URL)
if you can't log into your profile or delete the profile on your own, Contact MySpace, attach a salute and ask us to delete the profile for you
Just contact them after putting Remove profile.
-Saria The Dragoness

Create a new email? Log in to Myspace, change the email that your Myspace is associated with, to the new one?
