How to Delete TradingView Account: Complete, Up-to-Date Guide

---

Thinking about closing your TradingView account? It's a pretty simple process, but there are a couple of really important things to do first to make sure you don't run into any surprise charges or lose any of your hard work.

Before you hit that delete button, you need to cancel any paid memberships and save the charts, watchlists, and scripts you want to keep. This guide will walk you through the whole process, from getting prepared to the actual deletion steps on both your computer and phone. We'll also clear up the difference between just canceling a subscription and fully deleting your account.

Before you start, here's what you need to know

• It's (mostly) permanent: Once you delete your account, you have a 30-day window to change your mind and restore it by simply logging back in. After that, it's gone for good.
• Stop future bills first: Make absolutely sure you've canceled any active subscriptions through TradingView's website, the Apple App Store, or Google Play. This prevents any renewal charges after you've decided to leave.
• Save your stuff: Back up anything you've created that you want to keep, like your custom watchlists, chart layouts, indicators, Pine Scripts, price alerts, and any ideas you've published.

Who This Guide is For

This guide is for anyone looking to cleanly and completely part ways with their TradingView account. It's not about judging the platform—it's about helping you sort things out if you've decided to move on.

You'll find this especially useful if:

• You're simply done with TradingView. Maybe you've switched to another platform, or you're taking a break from trading. You want to make sure your account is closed properly, without any unused subscriptions or loose ends.

• You signed up through Apple or Google. If you upgraded your subscription directly through the App Store or Google Play, you need to cancel it through those official channels before you delete your account. Otherwise, you might still get charged. This guide walks you through that exact process.

• You value your privacy. If you're exercising your right to be forgotten under regulations like GDPR or CCPA, this process helps you formally request the deletion of your personal data from TradingView's systems, giving you peace of mind about your digital footprint.

Before you delete your account: A friendly, essential checklist

Thinking about deleting your TradingView account? Let's make sure you do it smoothly and don't get any surprise charges or lose anything important. Here's a simple, step-by-step list to run through before you hit that delete button.

• Cancel any active subscriptions. This is the big one to stop future charges.

  • If you signed up on TradingView's website: Head to your Profile/Account Settings and find the "Billing" section to cancel there.
  • If you subscribed through the Apple App Store: You'll need to manage your subscriptions directly in your Apple ID settings on an iOS device or a Mac.
  • If you subscribed via Google Play: Cancel it in the "Subscriptions" section of the Google Play Store on an Android device or on the web.

• Export or back up your data. Once the account is gone, this stuff is gone for good, so save what you want to keep.

  • Your personal watchlists and any chart layouts you've spent time on.
  • Any custom indicators or Pine scripts you've created. If you're looking for a more efficient way to build and manage your Pine scripts in the future, check out our guide on Optimizing Your Pine Script with Comment Blocks for writing cleaner code.
  • Your alerts and webhooks settings.
  • Any published ideas, scripts, or notes.

• Disconnect broker connections and revoke access for any other third-party apps you've connected to your TradingView account.

• Make sure you can sign in with a password. This is a crucial step a lot of people miss!

  • If you usually log in with "Sign in with Google/Apple/Facebook," you need to set a standalone password for your TradingView account first. Use the "Forgot password" option on the login page to do this before starting the deletion process.

• Turn off two-factor authentication (2FA) or double-check that you have your backup codes handy. This helps avoid getting locked out while you're trying to delete your account.

• Understand what might stick around. It's good to know that for legal reasons or to keep the community intact, TradingView may hold onto some data. For example, ideas or scripts you chose to publish might be kept (possibly in an anonymized form). If you're concerned about this, it's a good idea to unpublish any content you can before deleting your account and give their community guidelines a quick look.

How to delete your TradingView account from your computer

Thinking it's time to close your TradingView account? If you're sure you want to proceed, here's a straightforward guide to do it from your desktop or laptop browser.

Just follow these steps:

1. Head to TradingView.com and sign in with your email and password.
2. In the top right corner of the screen, click on your profile picture (your avatar).

4. Now, navigate to the "Account" or "Settings" tab. This is where you'll find the main controls for your profile.
5. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. You should see the "Delete account" option—click on it.

Important things to know before you go

• Your account doesn't vanish immediately. It goes into a 30-day "pending deletion" state.
• If you change your mind, you have a full month to cancel. Just log back in during that 30-day window, and you should be given the option to stop the deletion and keep your account.
• Once those 30 days are over, the deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. All your data, charts, and settings will be gone for good.

A couple of helpful things to know:

Tip	Why It Matters
If you can't find the delete option in the app, the most reliable fix is to open TradingView on your phone's web browser (like Chrome or Safari) and do it from there.	The menu options can sometimes vary slightly between the app and the website.
Cancel subscriptions separately. If you pay for a TradingView subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you'll need to cancel that subscription directly with Apple or Google.	Deleting your TradingView account does not automatically cancel these recurring payments for you.

Cancel your subscription first (to avoid charges)

Before we get started, you'll need to cancel your subscription to stop any future charges. The exact steps depend on where you originally signed up, so just follow the guide below for your situation.

If you purchased on the TradingView website (using a credit/debit card or PayPal)

1. Log in to your TradingView account and go to your Profile or Account Settings.
2. Look for the Billing section.
3. Click Cancel Subscription and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Double-check that your plan status has changed from "renewing" to "canceled" to confirm it's done.

If you purchased through the Apple App Store

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Tap your name at the top, then select Subscriptions.

3. Find and select your TradingView subscription.

4. Tap Cancel Subscription.

   Because this subscription is managed directly by Apple, their policies control renewals and any potential refunds. TradingView's support team can't cancel these for you.

If you purchased through the Google Play Store

1. Open the Google Play app on your Android device.

2. Tap your profile icon, then go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.

3. Select your TradingView subscription.

4. Tap Cancel Subscription.

   Since Google manages this purchase, their policies apply to renewals and refunds. Unfortunately, TradingView can't cancel subscriptions made on the Play Store.

A quick note on refunds

• For Apple App Store or Google Play purchases: Any refund requests are handled entirely by Apple or Google based on their respective policies.
• For purchases made directly on the TradingView website: Refunds are subject to TradingView's own refund policy. If you believe you're eligible, it's best to contact their support team as soon as possible.

Delete vs. Cancel: What's the difference?

It's easy to mix these two up, but understanding the difference can save you a lot of hassle. Here's the simple breakdown:

• Cancel your subscription: Think of this as hitting pause on payments. You stop future charges, but your account stays right where it is. It automatically reverts to a free plan, and all your work—your charts, watchlists, and settings—sticks around. It's the way to go if you just need a break from paying but might want to jump back in later.

• Delete your account: This is the permanent option. It's like closing a book for good. After a 30-day safety window, your entire account is wiped. This means your data, your personal alerts, and most of the content you created are erased.

The bottom line: If you just want to stop paying but might use TradingView again someday, cancel your subscription. There's no need to delete your entire account and lose all your stuff.

Action	What it does	Best for...
Cancel Subscription	Stops future billing; keeps your account & data on a free plan.	Taking a break but possibly returning later.
Delete Account	Permanently removes your account and data after 30 days.	When you're sure you won't need the account again.

What happens after you delete your account

Thinking about deleting your account? It's a big step, so it helps to know exactly what to expect. Here's a straightforward breakdown of the process.

The Immediate Aftermath

As soon as you confirm the deletion, a few things happen right away:

• You're Logged Out: You'll instantly lose access to your account dashboard. This means your custom charts, saved alerts, and personal watchlists will no longer be available.
• Automations Stop: Any connections you had set up with your broker, or any API integrations and webhooks tied to your alerts, will immediately stop functioning.

The 30-Day Safety Net (Your Chance to Change Your Mind)

This is the really important part. For the next 30 days, your account isn't gone—it's just in a deactivation queue.

• You Can Still Recover It: If you have second thoughts, you can simply sign back into your account within this 30-day window. This will automatically cancel the deletion process and restore full access.
• Billing is Paused: You shouldn't see any new charges during this time, provided you've already canceled your subscription through the proper channels.

The Point of No Return: After 30 Days

Once the 30-day period is over, the deletion is finalized. This is permanent.

• It's Gone for Good: Your account and all its personal data cannot be recovered. You would need to create a completely new account if you wished to use the service again.
• A Quick Note on Public Content: TradingView may keep limited bits of data when required by law. Also, if you published public ideas or scripts, those might be preserved to maintain the integrity of discussions on the platform. It's a good idea to review and remove any public content you've shared before you start the deletion process.

Here's a quick table to summarize the timeline:

Timeframe	What Happens
Immediately	Access to dashboard, charts, and alerts is lost. Automated connections stop.
30-Day Window	Account is deactivated but can be fully restored by logging in.
After 30 Days	Account and data are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Common problems and how to fix them

Running into a snag while trying to delete your TradingView account? You're not alone. Here are the most common hangups people face and straightforward ways to get past them.

"I can't find the option to delete my account!"

This is a really common first hurdle. Here's what to do:

• On a computer: The option is easiest to find on a desktop browser. Look for it under your Profile → Account Settings → Account tab.
• On a mobile app: Sometimes the menu is different. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version, as the location can change.
• On a team account: If you're part of an organizational or team account, you'll likely need to contact the account owner or reach out to TradingView support directly for help.

The deletion is blocked because I have an active subscription.

This one is a bit tricky, but the process is simple. You need to cancel the subscription first.

• Go to wherever you originally signed up for the subscription—either on the TradingView website, through the Apple App Store, or via the Google Play Store.
• Cancel the subscription there.
• Wait until the subscription status officially shows as canceled. Only then will you be able to proceed with deleting your account.

I signed up with Google or Apple and don't have a password.

If you used a "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Apple" option, you might not have set a separate password for TradingView.

• The fix is simple: On the login page, click "Forgot password" and enter the email address you use for TradingView.
• You'll get a link to set a new password. Once you've done that, you can log in and retry the account deletion process.

My Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is preventing confirmation.

The security measure you set up is now getting in the way. Here's how to handle it:

• Use one of your backup codes that you saved when you enabled 2FA.
• Alternatively, log in and temporarily disable 2FA in your security settings before you start the deletion process.
• If you're completely locked out and don't have your backup codes, you'll need to contact support and verify your identity so they can help you.

I'm not receiving the confirmation emails.

If the email isn't landing in your inbox, don't panic. Try this:

• First, thoroughly check your spam, junk, and promotions folders. Also, look at any inbox filters or rules you might have set up.
• To prevent this from happening again, add TradingView's "from" email address to your email allow list or contacts.
• Then, request a new confirmation email. It sometimes also helps to try this process from a desktop browser instead of a phone.

My account has been banned or restricted.

If you can't even access your account settings because it's been restricted, the normal deletion path won't work.

• In this case, you'll need to submit a formal data deletion request directly through TradingView's support or privacy channel.
• It can be helpful to reference the data privacy laws that apply in your country (like GDPR or CCPA) when you make your request.

Step-by-step quick reference (for featured snippet)

Thinking about deleting your TradingView account? Here's the full process, from preparation to actually clicking the delete button. Make sure you do the prep work first so you don't lose anything important.

Before You Delete Your Account

Take these steps before you start the deletion process to ensure a clean break and to save your work.

• Cancel active subscriptions: Head to your billing page and turn off any auto-renewals. This applies whether you signed up on the web, through the Apple App Store, or the Google Play Store.
• Back up your data: This is a big one. Export or save anything you want to keep, like your custom watchlists, chart layouts, price alerts, indicators, and any Pine Scripts you've written. Once the account is gone, this data is too.
• Disconnect outside services: If you've linked any brokerage accounts or other third-party apps, go into your settings and revoke their access.
• Set a password: If you originally signed up using a social login (like Google or Facebook), make sure you set a password for your TradingView account first. You'll need it to confirm the deletion.

The Actual Deletion Process

The steps are slightly different depending on whether you're on a computer or your phone.

Platform	Steps
Web (Desktop)	1. Click your profile avatar in the top right. 2. Go to Profile/Account Settings. 3. Navigate to the Account section. 4. Click Delete account. 5. Confirm your choice.
Mobile (App)	1. Tap the Profile tab. 2. Go to Settings. 3. Select Delete account. 4. Confirm your choice.

One Last Important Thing

Remember, your account isn't wiped immediately. You have a 30-day window to change your mind and log back in to reverse the deletion. After those 30 days are up, the account and all its data are permanently removed.

What Happens to Your Data When You Delete Your TradingView Account

Thinking about deleting your TradingView account? It's smart to understand what happens to your personal information when you do. Let's break down what you can expect.

• Your Personal Data is Removed: Once you confirm account deletion, the clock starts on a 30-day waiting period. After this month is over, the personal data directly tied to your profile—like your email and settings—is permanently deleted from TradingView's systems.

• Some Information Might Be Kept: For legal or operational reasons, TradingView may need to hang on to certain minimal records. This isn't the norm, but it can happen to comply with regulations or to help maintain the integrity of the community's shared content, like public charts or ideas.

• A Quick Tip Before You Go: If your main goal is to remove a specific chart or post you've shared publicly, deleting your entire account might be overkill. First, check if you can simply unpublish that content or adjust its visibility settings. If you're unsure, reaching out to their support team for help is a great first step. This way, you can target the specific content you want gone without wiping your entire presence.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to delete a TradingView account? Once you request it, there's a 30-day cooling-off period. After those 30 days are up, the deletion is final and can't be undone.

Can I get my account back after I ask for it to be deleted? Yes, but you have to act within that 30-day window. Just sign back in and you'll have the option to cancel the deletion process.

Should I cancel my subscription before deleting my account? Yes, definitely. You'll want to cancel your subscription first through the same place you bought it (like the TradingView website, the Apple App Store, or the Google Play Store) to make sure you aren't charged again.

What happens to all my watchlists, chart layouts, and alerts? They will be permanently removed once the account deletion is complete. Make sure you export and save anything you want to keep before you start the deletion process.

I signed up using Google or Apple, and I don't have a password. How do I delete my account? You'll first need to set a password for your account. Use the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page to create one. After that, you can go ahead with deleting your account.

Why don't I see the option to delete my account? A few things to check:

• Make sure you're using the web version of TradingView, not the mobile app.
• Look in your Account Settings.
• Ensure your mobile app is updated to the latest version.
• Confirm that you don't have an active subscription. If you've checked all this and still can't find it, your best bet is to contact their support team.

Will the ideas and scripts I published be removed? Most of your content will be deleted, but sometimes, for legal reasons or to keep the community intact, some public content might stick around or be made anonymous. It's a good idea to manually unpublish any content you can before deletion. If you have a specific concern, you can always check with support.

How do I stop the billing through Apple or Google? Since the subscription is managed by Apple or Google, you need to cancel it directly with them. Here's how:

Platform	Where to Go
Apple	Your Apple ID Subscriptions settings.
Google	Your Google Play Subscriptions settings.

Their respective platform rules will apply for any renewals or refunds.

Do my price alerts and webhooks keep working after I request deletion? No. Once your account enters the deletion process, and especially after it's completed, all your alerts and webhooks will stop firing.

Can TradingView delete my account if it's been banned? If your account is banned and you can't access the settings, you can't initiate deletion yourself. In that case, you'll need to reach out to their support team or use a privacy/data request channel. They will likely ask you to verify your identity before processing the request.

Next steps

First, figure out what you want to do: keep a free account or permanently delete everything after you've saved your data.

To make sure you don't get charged again, cancel your subscription directly through the channel you used to sign up—that could be the TradingView website, Apple, or Google.

Before you go through with the deletion, it's a good idea to export your stuff. Save your watchlists, chart layouts, Pine scripts, and any alert configurations you might want to use again later. If you're looking for alternatives after leaving TradingView, you might want to explore Free Charting Software Like TradingView: Top Alternatives for Traders to find your next platform.

Then, take a moment to unlink any connected broker accounts and remove access for any third-party apps. Once that's done, you can complete the final "Delete Account" process on the web or using the mobile app.

If you hit a snag—like you can't find the delete option, you're locked out due to 2FA, or you have trouble with a social login—try switching to a desktop browser. From there, a password reset often helps, or you can always reach out to their support team for assistance.
