Delete Tumblr account
If you no longer want to use the Tumblr service, you can delete your account. We'll show you how it's done.
Delete Tumblr account
- Open the Tumblr website and, if necessary, log in with your username and password.
- Click on the gear icon in the top right to access the account settings.
- If you scroll down on the page, you will find the button "delete account" at the bottom. Then click on the button "Yes, delete my account and blog".
- For security reasons, you must now enter the URL of your blog, your user name and your password. Confirm your decision by clicking the "Yes, delete my account and blog" button again.
- All your Tumblr activity will now be deleted. Your blogs will be removed and you will be removed from all groups. It is no longer possible to reactivate the account.
If you do not want to completely delete your account, it may be sufficient if you simply delete some content, such as pictures, from your blog. You can find out how this works in this practical tip.
