How to Delete Your Grok Account (Permanently)
Step-by-step: delete your Grok account the right way — cancel billing first, export your data, then remove the account permanently.
How to delete your Grok account
- Grok access is tied to your X account — there is no standalone Grok account to delete.
- Cancel X Premium / SuperGrok first: on web go to x.com > Premium > Manage subscription, or cancel in the app store where you subscribed.
- To delete your X account: Settings and privacy > Your account > Deactivate your account.
- Confirm with your password. Deactivation starts a 30-day grace period.
- After 30 days of no login, the account and Grok history are permanently deleted.
In the X app: profile menu > Settings & privacy > Your account > Deactivate.
Before you delete
- There is no separate "delete Grok" — your conversation history disappears with the X account.
- SuperGrok standalone (non-Premium) subscriptions are managed under gork.com/x.ai account settings.
- Deleting X also loses your handle, followers and post history — it is the whole account.
What happens after you delete
Deactivation hides the account for 30 days; logging back in during that window reactivates it. After 30 days, deletion is permanent.
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 Grok 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 Grok pricing breakdown or see every model we support.

FAQ
Can I recover my Grok account after deleting it?
No. Deletion is permanent on Grok. 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 Grok'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.
