How to Delete a Roblox Account Permanently (Step by Step)

Roblox › Help Center › Accounts & Safety

Deleting a Roblox account is a permanent decision, and the exact steps depend on when you read this, because Roblox has moved the option around more than once. This guide explains the general route, what to do first and the alternatives if you are not fully sure.

Key facts at a glance

Roblox offers an account deletion path, but the exact steps can change, so check the current Help Center.
Deleting an account is meant to be permanent, so unspent Robux and purchases are lost.
Subscriptions bought through an app store must be cancelled in that store.
Parents can ask Roblox Support for help with a child account.

How to delete a Roblox account

Quick answer

To delete a Roblox account, sign in, check Roblox official help article on deleting an account, and use the deletion option if it appears under your account settings. If you cannot see it, submit a deletion request through the Roblox support form. Older guides say the only route was contacting support, so expect some variation.

Before you delete

Cancel Roblox Premium. Cancelling prevents future charges. See our guide on how to cancel Roblox Premium.
Use or save what you want. Robux, items, limiteds and creations disappear once deletion is processed.
Download anything you made. If you built experiences, save copies of your work.
Tell friends if you want to keep in touch elsewhere.
Think about the email. Use the email linked to the account when you contact support so Roblox can verify you.

Step-by-step: delete a Roblox account

Sign in to the account you want to remove.
Open Settings and look under Account Info for a delete account option. Some devices show it and others do not.
If you do not see it, go to the Roblox support page and submit a request for account deletion, choosing the account or privacy and data request category.
State clearly that you want the account permanently deleted and include your username.
Follow any verification steps Roblox sends to your email.
Wait for confirmation. Guides report that processing can take several days and up to about two weeks.

How to delete a Roblox account on mobile

On Android and iPhone the process is the same, because the request is handled by Roblox account systems and support, not by deleting the app. Removing the app from your phone does not delete the account.

Can parents delete a child account?

Yes, but expect extra verification. A parent or guardian may be asked to prove ownership or relationship to the account, so use the email linked to the child account and have details ready.

What happens after deletion

Once deletion is processed, the account, its items, Robux balance, friends and creations are gone. You cannot recover it later. You can create a new account, but it starts from zero.

Delete or deactivate?

If you only want a break, you do not have to delete anything. You can stop logging in, tighten privacy settings, turn off chat or ask a parent to set limits. Not signing in leaves the account intact on Roblox servers.

If you cannot sign in

Use the password reset flow first, then contact Roblox support from the email tied to the account. If the account is compromised, secure it before deletion so nobody else can access the data.

Alternatives to deleting your account

If you are deleting because of safety or screen-time worries, there are gentler options. You can switch off chat, restrict who can message you, set a spending limit, use parental controls, or simply uninstall the app and keep the account dormant. For privacy concerns, review what your profile shows and who can join you in experiences.

Checklist for parents

Confirm the email and parent details linked to the account.
Cancel any subscriptions and remove stored payment methods.
Talk with your child before deleting, since items and friends will be lost.
Keep a record of your support request in case you need to follow up.

If you change your mind

Act quickly and contact support before processing completes, because after deletion the account cannot be recovered. If you only wanted a fresh start, consider a new account instead of deleting the old one, and keep the old one secured with a strong password and two-step verification.

Common mistakes

The most common mistakes are deleting before cancelling Premium, forgetting to save creations, using a different email to contact support, and assuming that uninstalling the app removes the account. Avoid all four and the process is straightforward.

Protecting your data before you leave

Change any passwords you reused on other sites, remove saved payment methods from app stores, and review connected accounts. If you shared an email address publicly in your profile, remove it. These steps limit exposure while your request is being processed.

What should I do before I delete my account?

Think about what you will lose first. Items, progress in experiences, Robux balance, friends and group memberships are tied to the account, and they generally cannot be restored once the deletion is complete. If you only want a break, logging out or changing privacy settings may be enough.

Will cancelling Premium delete my account?

No. Cancelling a paid subscription stops future billing but leaves the account intact. Handle the subscription in the store where you bought it, then decide whether you still want to remove the account.

Key terms explained

Account deletion: The process of permanently removing an account and its data according to Roblox policy.
