How to Delete Your Spotify Account (Non-Premium Account)
Deleting the Spotify account requires you to log on to the official website of the music streaming service. This is because Spotify only allows users to delete or cancel their subscriptions from a browser. The process can take place on a mobile browser as well if you don’t have a desktop around. You don’t find these options on the Mobile and Desktop version of the application. In this way, you can delete your Spotify account on any device.

2. Now, on the header section, you have a trio of options to select. Click on the “Support” option for the account settings.
3. Clicking the “Support” opens up a page showing you the “Account and Payments” aisle. From the listicle, select the “Account Help” option.
4. Scroll down and you will find the “Closing the Account” option from the list. Clicking this opens up the “Closing your Account” page.
5. Now, scroll down a bit and you will find the “Don’t have Premium” section on the page. As we are deleting a Non-Premium account select the “Close your account” link provided in that section.
6. On the opening of the Support page, select “Account” from the list of options and select the “I want to close my account” option in the provided list.
7. This opens up a bunch of pages next after clicking “Close Account” intimating you on the data you lose on deleting the Spotify account.
8. After completing all the five steps shown on the screen, Spotify sends you an email.
9. This email contains the confirmation link to delete your Spotify account permanently. Upon clicking the “Close My Account” in the email, your account gets deleted in Spotify.
In this manner, you can delete your Spotify account from the official website. The confirmation link sent from Spotify from closing the account expires in 24 hours. So, you get 24 hours before deleting the account and if you fail to click the link, the account won’t get closed.
