How to delete a Temu account

▲ Hot Trend score: 80 Published: June 7, 2026

To delete your Temu account, you must go through account settings on the app or website — simply deleting the app does nothing.

The context

Temu’s rapid growth has led many users to reconsider their accounts, whether due to privacy concerns, unwanted emails, or simply cleaning up unused accounts. The topic is trending as people search for clear steps to permanently remove their data and stop communications.

Temu’s account deletion process is straightforward but requires a few deliberate steps. You must cancel pending orders and use credits/coupons first, as those are lost upon deletion. The process is available both on the app (under You > Settings > Account security > Delete your Temu account) and on the web (under Orders & Account > same flow). Confirmation via password or OTP is required.

Deletion is not instantaneous: it takes about 7 business days to take effect, and you can cancel the request within 7 days by logging back in. Some data may be retained for legal reasons. Also, if you subscribed via Apple/Google/Roku or your carrier, you must cancel the subscription from that platform separately — deleting the Temu account does not stop billing.
