Deleting Your LinkedIn Account

If you're ready to permanently delete your LinkedIn account, here's a breakdown of the process. Be absolutely sure you want to do this, as it is irreversible and you'll lose all your connections, endorsements, and other account data.

Steps to Delete Your Account

  1. Access Your Account Settings: Go to your LinkedIn profile on a desktop computer (the mobile app has limited functionality for this). Look for your profile picture in the top right corner and click on it. Then, select "Settings & Privacy."

  2. Navigate to Account Preferences: In the "Settings & Privacy" menu, find the "Account preferences" section.

  3. Account Management: Within "Account preferences", scroll down to the "Account management" section. You will see an option called "Change". Click on it.

  4. Close Account Option: Under "Account management" find the "Closing your LinkedIn account" section and click on "Close".

  5. Provide a Reason: LinkedIn will ask you to provide a reason for closing your account. Select the reason that best applies to you.

  6. Confirm Account Closure: After selecting a reason, LinkedIn will present you with a warning about the consequences of deleting your account. If you're sure, click on "Continue". You may need to re-enter your password to verify the deletion.

  7. Confirmation: After completing all steps, your account will be scheduled for closure.

Important Considerations Before Deleting:

  • Data Loss: Remember that deleting your account is permanent. All your connections, profile information, recommendations, skills, and group memberships will be gone.
  • Back Up Your Data: LinkedIn allows you to download an archive of your data. This can be done in the "Settings & Privacy" section before deleting. Consider doing so, so you can keep your data for future reference. You can read about backing up your data before you proceed.
  • Alternative: Account Suspension: If you're not ready to completely delete your account, you might consider suspending your account instead. This will make your profile invisible to others, but you can reactivate it later.
  • Removing connections: If you want to remove connections without deleting the entire account, you can read about removing connections.
