This wikiHow teaches you how to permanently delete your OKCupid account. Since the mobile app doesn't support permanent account deletion, you'll need a computer to perform this process.
Steps
1
Open the OKCupid webpage. Doing so will open the OKCupid Home page if you're logged in.
- If you aren't logged in, click Sign in in the top right corner of the page, enter your email address and password, and click Let's go.
2
Click your profile picture. It's in the top right corner of the page.
3
Click Settings. You'll see this option in the drop-down menu.
4
Click My Account. This tab is on the left side of the screen.
5
Scroll down and click Go here. It's a link in the sentence on the page: "Go here to disable or delete your account."
6
Click Delete Account. It's the red button at the bottom of the page.
7
Type your password into the "Confirm" box. This box is at the bottom of the "Delete your account" window.
- You can also check a reason for leaving and leave an explanatory comment in this window.
8
Click Delete. It's at the bottom of the window. As long as your password is correct, doing this will permanently delete your OKCupid account and all data associated with it.
- If you decide to make another OKCupid account, you won't be able to use the same username.

Question
How do I stop getting emails from a dating service I did not sign up for?
Community Answer
Check the bottom of the emails for an "unsubscribe" option. Almost all emails have this option. If one does not exist, block it as "spam".

Question
How can I delete my OkCupid account if I have forgotten my password and username?
Community Answer
If you still have access to the email address you used to sign up, you can recover your account through it. Otherwise, you'll need to contact OKCupid directly and explain the situation to them.

Question
How long is a deleted account still visible?
Community Answer
Depending on the search engine you're using (e.g., Google), your username and account information may show up in an archived format for around two weeks after the deletion. If you notice that your account is still showing up after that point, you should contact OKCupid and/or Google to see if you can expedite the page removal.
