Because of customers demand, Netflix offers a service to put your account on hold for a set period of time – typically between seven and 90 days. So, you can hold your Netflix account for a fix period without deleting your account.

  • logging into your account on Netflix.com

Actually this step is not required if you are going to cancel your subscription. Netflix claims that it does not store any user data after deleting your account. But since, you are not going to use your account anymore, so it’s best to remove all personal details.

Remove Email In Netflix Account: On your account page, you can see an option to change email account. Just replace the email account ID with a fake temp email address which you don’t plan to use.

Remove Profile In Netflix Account: Same as other sites, Netflix also tracks your watching habits to suggest similar content. To prevent this remove your “Netflix Profiles” from your account. Check the starting section to know how to remove a Netflix profile.

(c)    Remove Payment Methods

Officially Netflix never allows you to remove all payment options from your linked Netflix account. After applying for cancellation membership, it will remove all the account details from their server. Otherwise, you can use a trick to remove credit card and debit card details.

  • For this, create a virtual credit card from any bank and add it as a new payment method.
  • Now remove the previous credit or debit card details from Netflix account.

Netflix claims that once the account is removed, all the payment methods are also deleted from the servers check it here.

How To Delete A Netflix Account Faster

According to the Netflix official page, the permanently deleting process takes 10 months after applying for an account cancelation request. So, don’t try to log-in again in between this locking period. But if you want to delete or deactivate your account faster then send an email to privacy@netflix.com from the email address associated with your account. Don’t forget to mention “Delete My Account” into the subject for the email and then request in the email to delete the Netflix account. Now you don’t need to do anything. Netflix will process your request and respond to your email address when your account is deleted.

So guys this is all about “Netflix account cancellation process”. Once you are done to cancel your Netflix account then it will delete automatically after 10 months.
