How to delete your Spotify account: Cancel your Spotify subscription and close your Spotify account for good

By Admin On May 26, 2022

Spotify is still the poster child for music streaming. With 138 million paying subscribers, Spotify is a top-rated music service that’s used all over the world. Although the Swedish company is proving its worth in the market, it has taken many steps for increased revenue and public exposure. Some users are switching to Tidal and Amazon Music Unlimited because of this.

Spotify launched a new free tier to try to increase the number of users. Spotify had previously offered two tiers: an ad free tier for $9.99 per monthly and a free, ad funded tier. The first lets you download songs offline and doesn’t limit access. The latter limits how many songs you can access and restricts what playlists you can use. Shuffle is not allowed. Spotify Free allows you to listen to any song in 15 Discovery playlists on-demand.

Spotify offers student accounts, family accounts and Spotify duo (for up to two people) at a reduced price. Every tier is priced at a competitive price compared to other on the market. If you are looking to save money every month, it might be time to cancel your subscription.

Although I cancelled my account, I was still charged. What happened?

If you cancel your Premium subscription, you will be billed again if the cancellation was made before the renewal date.

You should first check your email to confirm that you have been charged for Spotify subscriptions after cancelling. The cancellation date should be on the email. Contact Spotify support if you are satisfied with the information and believe that there was an error in the charge.

Can I reactivate an account that is closed?

First, you should know that your paid subscription can be reactivated (alongwith all playlists or benefits) if your account remains open.

There are no recovery options once you have closed your account. When you close your account, all data and information are deleted. You will only have one option: open a new account, create new playlists, or close the account.

I signed up using Facebook for Spotify. Can I disconnect it?

Unfortunately, no. Spotify offers several sign-in options to its users. If you have a Facebook account, you will need to close it according the above instructions and create a new one.

After you have canceled your account, create a new account using your email address and a unique password. You will lose all your music, playlists, or downloads if this happens. All of your content will need to be curated again.
