Maybe you’ve met someone special and want to show your commitment by officially taking yourself off the market, or maybe you just need a break from online dating. Whatever your reason, AdultFriendFinder makes it simple to delete your account and remove your profile data permanently.
First, be aware that deleting your account is different from canceling your Gold membership. If you wish to continue using AdultFriendFinder for free or just stop your monthly payments, you can do so without deleting your account. Deleting your account is more permanent; you’ll lose all your profile info, chat history, and settings.

If you still want to proceed, you can delete your account via a web browser or on your phone. The steps differ, but the result is the same. Note for phone users: merely deleting your AFF app isn’t enough to delete your account. Let’s delve into it.
How to cancel your AdultFriendFinder Gold subscription
If you have a Gold subscription, you’ll need to cancel it before you delete your account.
1. Log in to your account with your username and password.
2. Navigate to the “My Account” section in the top right and select “Settings”.
3. If you’re a Gold member, you’ll see a “Billing History & Credit Card” info section.
4. Turn the auto-renew switch to “Off”.
5. Check your email for confirmation to verify that your subscription was canceled.
How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account on the web
If you primarily use AdultFriendFinder on a web browser, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your account with your username and password.
2. Navigate to the “My Account” section in the top right and select “Settings”.
3. Under “Manage My Account,” select “Close Account”.
4. You’ll see a confirmation message offering alternatives to account deletion, like hiding your profile or turning off email notifications.
5. Select “Please Delete My Account”.
6. Enter your password one last time to confirm your identity and intention.
How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account on your phone
There’s no official AFF app in the Apple App or Google Play Store due to NSFW content, but many users use phone-based workarounds via web-based shortcuts on their home screens. Deleting your AFF app icon won’t delete your account or data. Follow these steps on your phone:
1. Log in to your account with your username and password.
2. Navigate to the “My Account” section in the top right and select “Settings”.
3. Under “Manage My Account,” select “Close Account”.
4. A confirmation message will appear, offering alternatives to account deletion.
5. Select “Please Delete My Account”.
6. Enter your password again to confirm.
Account deletion is final, so be sure you’re ready to lose all contacts, chat history, and profile information before confirming. If the steps above didn’t work, visit the AFF Help Center, where there are visual guides for common activities, including account deletion.
