How to remove your WebMD account

You cannot delete your account. The official response:

“We don’t generally delete accounts-instead you can just stop using the account. If you would like to have the account removed for a compelling safety or privacy reason or need it removed in order to use the same email address again-please email us at webmdcommunity@webmd.net from the email address you provided at the time you registered your account at webmdcommunity@webmd.net with your member name and reason you would like your account removed.”

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