There are so many reasons to delete an online dating profile. It might be because you've found that special somebody already and you want to show commitment by officially leaving the dating landscape. Perhaps you're just happy to remain as a singleton. Or maybe you just want a break from all swipes, matches, and "heys." Thankfully, AdultFriendFinder is one of the hookup platforms that make it super easy to delete your account and permanently scrub your profile data.
First, understand that deleting your account is different from canceling your Gold membership. If you want to continue using AdultFriendFinder for free, or just want to stop your monthly payments, you can just cancel the subscription without deleting your entire account. Actual account deletion is a more permanent action: you’ll lose all of your profile info, all of your chat history, and all of your settings. So, be sure before you go ahead — consider whether you 100 percent want to wipe all that information. Particularly if you're a longtime user with a lot of history on the site.
If you do want to go ahead, you can choose whether to delete your account via a web browser or on your phone. The steps are different, but the end result is the same.

How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account on your phone
AFF doesn’t have an official app in either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, owing to its NSFW content, but lots of AFF users still use phone-based workarounds for AdultFriendFinder, often via a web-based shortcut on their home screens.
Simply deleting your AFF app icon will not delete your account or the data and history associated with it. You need to go deeper than that and delete your actual account. To delete your account via your phone, follow these steps:
- 2 minutes
- Smartphone
Step 1: Log in to your account as usual, using your username and password credentials
Step 2: Navigate to the "My Account" section in the top right and select "Settings"
Step 3: Under the "Manage My Account" heading, select "Close Account"
Step 4: You’ll be prompted with a confirmation message offering alternatives to account deletion, including hiding your profile or turning off email notifications
Step 5: Select "Please Delete My Account"
Step 6: You’ll be prompted to enter your password one last time, to confirm your identity and intention
Account deletion is final and irrevocable. So be sure you’re prepared to permanently lose all your contacts, chat history, and profile information before you click to confirm deletion. You can always open a new account, of course, if you want to return to the platform. But you won't be able to pick up where you left off. You'll have to totally start over with your AFF profile.
If, for any reason, the above steps haven’t worked for you, you can always visit the AFF Help Center, where you'll find FAQs and visual guides for on-site activities, including account deletion.
