Deleting your Lingo account permanently removes your profile and login credentials. This is different from deleting a Space—your account is your personal identity across all Spaces.
Before you delete
Consider what happens when your account is deleted:
You lose access to all Spaces — You'll be removed from every Space you're a member of
Your contributions remain — Assets you uploaded and content you created stay in their Spaces
You can't undo this — Account deletion is permanent
If you own a Space
You cannot delete your account while you're the Owner of any Space. First, you'll need to either:
Transfer ownership — Transfer ownership to another Admin, or
Delete the Space — Delete the Space entirely
Once you're no longer an Owner of any Space, you can proceed with account deletion.
What happens to your data
Your profile — Permanently deleted
Your email — Removed from our system (you can create a new account with this email later)
Content you created — Remains in the Spaces where it was created, but may show as "deleted user"
Spaces you were a member of — Continue to exist; other members aren't affected
How to delete your account
Contact support to delete your account.
Need a break instead?
If you just want to step away temporarily, consider asking a Space Admin to remove you as a member instead of deleting your account. You can always be re-invited later.
