Delete your INSTEAD account
Request deletion without the app
Email info@insteadtry.com from the email address you used to sign in to INSTEAD. Use the subject “INSTEAD account deletion”. We will verify ownership before processing your request. Never send your sign-in code or password. You do not need to reinstall the app.
Email an account-deletion request
Delete from the app
Sign in, open any topic’s account controls, choose Delete account, and confirm. The request hides your public contributions and disables new contributions while deletion is attempted. If cleanup fails, retry or contact support.
What is deleted
Account deletion removes your sign-in account, community comments, recipes, recipe photos, votes, reports, blocks, and account-linked agreements. Stored recipe photos are removed before the account. Failed cleanup keeps the request pending. Locally saved guides must be cleared separately on your device. Provider backups and operational logs may follow their retention schedules; see the Privacy Policy.
Request status
We verify emailed requests and process them as promptly as reasonably possible. For status or a failed in-app request, email support from your account address. Support is not an emergency service.
