How to remove your Tencent Weibo account

It seems that Tencent has added a QQ account removal option, but it’s only available after your account is at least 60 days old, which is kind of odd.

Go to settings & account

Choose ‘close’ to close it.

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 Tencent Weibo and ask personally. By the way, removal requests don’t necessarily mean your data will actually be removed (e.g. due to legal obligations).
