How to remove your Minecraft account

If you are not on the new Mojang accounts, you cannot delete your account unless you migrate it first on the Mojang Accounts signup page.

Once you are on the new Mojang accounts, go to account.mojang.com and sign in.

Under “My Account” click “View account settings”. Once you are at the settings page, click “Learn how” under “Delete Account”, and then click “Request Account Deletion”.

They will send you an email. Click the link in the email, answer the security questions and password and then click delete account.

Helpful Trick: Removing online data

Publicly visible text/images often aren’t properly removed even when you succeed in removing an account. Try editing or removing them manually before removing the account itself. If you’re unsure what happens to your tracks: this can be found mostly in the Terms of Service/Privacy Policy; otherwise you can always contact Minecraft and ask personally. By the way, removal requests don’t necessarily mean your data will actually be removed (e.g. due to legal obligations).
