How to remove your Quora account

Send an e-mail (privacy@quora.com) asking for removal. Not very neat – however on the other hand, all your info and published texts will be removed. You can also deactivate your account (and probably reactivate later, if you wish). Go to https://www.quora.com/settings/privacy and click ‘Deactivate 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 Quora and ask personally. By the way, removal requests don’t necessarily mean your data will actually be removed (e.g. due to legal obligations).
