How to Delete Your Microsoft Copilot Account (Permanently)
Step-by-step: delete your Microsoft Copilot account the right way — cancel billing first, export your data, then remove the account permanently.
How to delete your Microsoft Copilot account
- Copilot has no separate account — it lives inside your Microsoft account.
- Cancel Copilot Pro first: account.microsoft.com > Services & subscriptions > Copilot Pro > Cancel.
- To delete Copilot data only: account.microsoft.com > Privacy > manage Copilot interaction history.
- To close the entire Microsoft account: account.microsoft.com > Your info > Close account.
In the Copilot app: profile > Settings > Privacy > delete history. Account closure is at account.microsoft.com.
Before you delete
- Deleting Copilot history is NOT deleting the account.
- Closing the Microsoft account removes Outlook, OneDrive, Xbox — export first.
- Work/school Copilot is managed by your admin.
What happens after you delete
Microsoft account closure has a 30 or 60-day waiting period; signing back in cancels it.
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 Microsoft Copilot 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 Microsoft Copilot pricing breakdown or see every model we support.

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