How to delete your Funimation account
To delete your Funimation account, log in to your account on the Funimation website, go to Account Settings, select "Delete Account," and confirm the deletion. Funimation will send a confirmation email to the address on file—you must click the link in that email within 24 hours to complete the deletion. Once confirmed, your account and all associated data are permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
The deletion process takes effect immediately after you confirm via email. You will lose access to your watch history, saved shows, custom lists, and any active subscription. If you have an active paid subscription, canceling your account does not refund unused time—you should cancel your subscription first if you want to stop charges before the next billing cycle.
Key Takeaways
- Log into Funimation, navigate to Account Settings, and select Delete Account to start the process.
- You must confirm the deletion by clicking a link in an email sent to your registered address within 24 hours, or the deletion will not complete.
- Deleting your account removes all watch history, saved lists, and profile data permanently—this cannot be undone.
- If you have an active paid subscription, the deletion does not refund remaining time; cancel your subscription separately if you want to stop future charges.
- If you only want to pause access without losing your data, deactivating your account is an alternative to deletion.
Steps to delete your account through the website
Start by opening the Funimation website and logging in with your email and password. Once logged in, look for your profile icon or menu in the top right corner of the page and select "Account Settings" or "My Account."
In Account Settings, scroll down to find the "Delete Account" or "Close Account" option. Click it. Funimation will show you a warning that explains the deletion is permanent and will remove all your data. Read through this carefully, then click the button to confirm you want to proceed.
Funimation sends a confirmation email to the address linked to your account. Open that email and click the confirmation link. You have 24 hours to complete this step. If you do not click the link within 24 hours, the deletion request expires and your account remains active.
What happens to your subscription when you delete
Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an active subscription. If you are on a paid plan, you will continue to be charged on your next billing date unless you cancel the subscription first. To avoid this charge, cancel your subscription before you delete your account.
To cancel your subscription, go to Account Settings, find the "Subscription" or "Billing" section, and select "Cancel Subscription." Confirm the cancellation. After your subscription is canceled, you can then proceed with deleting your account. Once the account is deleted, you cannot recover any refund for unused subscription time.
The difference between deleting and deactivating your account
Deletion permanently removes your account and all associated data. You cannot recover your watch history, saved shows, or profile settings. If you want to return to Funimation in the future, you must create a new account from scratch.
Deactivation temporarily hides your account and pauses access without deleting your data. Your watch history, saved lists, and profile information remain stored on Funimation's servers. You can reactivate your account at any time by logging back in, and all your data will be restored. Deactivation is useful if you want to take a break but may return later.
Choose deletion only if you are certain you will not use Funimation again. If you are unsure, deactivation is the safer option because it preserves your data and allows you to return without starting over.
What data is removed when you delete
Deleting your Funimation account removes your watch history, which means the site will no longer remember which shows you have watched or how far you progressed through each series. Any custom lists or playlists you created are deleted. Your profile information, including your username, email, and any personal details you added, is removed from Funimation's active systems.
Payment information linked to your account is also deleted. However, Funimation may retain some data for legal or billing purposes—for example, records of past transactions may be kept to comply with tax or fraud prevention laws. This retained data is not accessible through your account and is separate from your profile deletion.
If you cannot find the delete option
If you log into your account and cannot locate the Delete Account option in Account Settings, the feature may not be available in your region or account type. Some accounts created through third-party sign-ins (like Google or Facebook) may have different deletion processes.
If you signed up through a third-party service, you may need to delete your Funimation account through that service instead. For example, if you created your Funimation account using your Google account, you might need to manage the connection through Google's account settings. Contact Funimation support through their help center if you cannot find the delete option or if you signed up through a third party and are unsure how to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my account after I delete it?
No. Once you confirm the deletion via email, your account and all data are permanently removed. Funimation does not restore deleted accounts. If you want to use Funimation again, you must create a new account with a new email address.
What if I do not click the confirmation email within 24 hours?
The deletion request expires and your account remains active. You will not be charged or affected in any way. If you want to delete your account, you must start the process again and click the confirmation link within the 24-hour window.
Will deleting my account stop my subscription charges?
Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel your subscription separately before deleting your account to stop future charges. If you delete without canceling, you will be charged on your next billing date.
Can I delete my account on the Funimation app instead of the website?
The app may not have a delete account option. Use the Funimation website to delete your account. Log in on a computer or mobile browser, go to Account Settings, and follow the deletion steps from there.
What if I signed up through a third-party service like Google or Facebook?
You may need to delete the connection through that third-party service instead of through Funimation directly. Check your Google, Facebook, or Apple account settings for connected apps and remove Funimation from there. If you are unsure, contact Funimation support for guidance specific to your sign-up method.
