How to Delete Your Ubuntu One Account

Notes

Yes and no, it depends on which type(s) of accounts, and you will need to delete the accounts in the correct order. All accounts are tied to Ubuntu One's Single Sign-On (login.ubuntu.com), so that is the account you should close last. Everything else, such as Launchpad.net, cloud file storage, AskUbuntu, and other accounts should be closed first if possible. This is especially important if you have any paid services attached, to make sure you won't be billed for anything after closing the accounts. The last step is to delete your Single Sign-On (SSO) account. SSO accounts must be deleted manually by the Ubuntu One staff.

Step-by-step checklist

1. Back up your data
   Download any data you want to keep (messages, photos, invoices) before you start.
2. Sign in on the official domain
   Verify the domain matches the official service before you enter credentials.
3. Find “Delete account” vs “Deactivate”
   Follow the official flow and look for a permanent deletion option.
4. Confirm the request and capture proof
   Complete any confirmations and save a screenshot/email confirmation as proof of request.
5. Revoke access and cancel payments
   Disconnect third-party logins, revoke app permissions, and remove payment methods if relevant.
6. Wait for completion, then verify
   Expect extra verification steps or support contact. If you get a grace period email, mark the final deletion date and re-check after it passes.
