SoundCloud lets you share your own music and listen to other artists, whether they’re amateur or professional. It’s a great place to share and discover new music, and it allows you to take deep dives into music that’s unavailable anywhere else.

But if you’re done with SoundCloud, and want to remove all your songs, playlists, and other personal information from SoundCloud, the quickest way is to delete your account. 

Just remember that once you delete your account, everything is gone for good. There’s no way to recover music or data from a deleted account.

How to delete your SoundCloud account

You have to use the desktop website to delete your account – you can’t do it from the SoundCloud app.

1. Head to the SoundCloud website and log into your account, and then click on the three dots at the top-right corner.

5. When you click on it, you'll go to the "Delete Account" screen. Here, you'll be asked why you're leaving SoundCloud. You can check one of the reasons, or simply click on "Delete my account" at the bottom.
