Deleting Your Account

Deleting Your Account

Deleting your account permanently removes your PulseAPI user account and all personal data. This is separate from canceling a subscription or deleting a team.

Warning: Account deletion is irreversible. There is no grace period or recovery option.

Before You Delete

Consider alternatives:

  • If you want to stop being charged: Cancel your subscription — your account stays active on the Free plan
  • If you're the owner of a team others rely on: Transfer ownership first, otherwise the team will be inaccessible to members
  • If you just want a break: Simply log out — there's no account expiry from inactivity

What gets deleted:

  • Your user profile (name, email, timezone, password)
  • Your API keys
  • Your membership in all teams (you're removed from every team you belong to)
  • Teams you own — unless you transfer ownership first

Steps

  1. In the left sidebar, click Settings.
  2. Click the Profile tab.
  3. Scroll to the Danger Zone or Account section at the bottom.
  4. Click Delete Account.
  5. Read the confirmation dialog carefully.
  6. Enter your password to confirm.
  7. Click Delete My Account.

Your account is deleted immediately and you are logged out.

Impact on Your Teams

  • Teams you own: If you delete your account without transferring ownership, those teams and all their data are deleted
  • Teams you're a member of (not owner): You're removed as a member; the team and its data continue to exist for other members
