How to Delete Your DeepSeek Account (Permanently)
Step-by-step: delete your DeepSeek account the right way — cancel billing first, export your data, then remove the account permanently.
How to delete your DeepSeek account
- DeepSeek chat is free; there is usually no subscription to cancel (API balance is separate).
- Sign in at chat.deepseek.com.
- Go to profile/Settings and look for "Delete account", or email service@deepseek.com to request deletion.
- Deleting removes your chat history permanently.
In the DeepSeek app: profile > Settings > Delete account.
Before you delete
- The API platform (platform.deepseek.com) uses the same login — any remaining API balance is lost on deletion.
- If you registered with a phone number rather than email, use the in-app path.
- Chat export before deleting if you want to keep any outputs.
What happens after you delete
Deletion removes conversation history and account data; API platform access tied to the same email may also be affected.
Deleting removes your account; it does not get you a refund for the current billing period. If you are leaving because of the price, there is a cheaper way to keep the same capability.
Leaving because of the price?
If DeepSeek was costing you a standalone subscription, Krater gives you 500+ AI models in one workspace for a single $20/month Pro plan. One subscription replaces several single-model subs. Compare plans on our DeepSeek pricing breakdown or see every model we support.

FAQ
Can I recover my DeepSeek account after deleting it?
No. Deletion is permanent on DeepSeek. A few products (X, Microsoft) hold the account in a deactivated state for about 30 days first, but once the window closes it cannot be restored.
Do I get a refund when I delete my account?
Deleting the account does not trigger a refund. Cancel the subscription first and check DeepSeek's refund policy — most AI products do not refund unused time.
Is deleting the same as cancelling?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but keeps your account and history. Deleting removes the account entirely. Most people should cancel first, keep using the free tier until the period ends, then delete.
