How do I delete my Pinterest account?

When I select the close account in the settings, I receive an email. In the email, I click the “close account” button, which then prompts me to log in to Pinterest. After logging in, it just logs me in normally, as if I never requested to close my account. I have tried this three times to confirm. Any suggestions?

hallo owen take this into account,before deleting your personal account, you must un link any linked business accounts. The permanent deletion of your account may take up to seven days after initiating the process.

I had this happen to me a while back. Sounds like the email link might be glitchy. Don’t worry, there are other ways to close your account. Here’s what I did:

  1. Try logging in to Pinterest on a web browser (if you were using the app). Sometimes things work better on desktop.
  2. If that fails, search for “Delete Pinterest Account” on their help page. They should have instructions for closing your account without the email.
  3. Still stuck? Contact Pinterest support directly. They can usually fix these things manually.
