How do I delete my Epic Games Account?

If you are a child and your parent hasn't helped you set up your account, you may have a Cabined Account with different features. Visit this page if you think you might have a Cabined Account to learn more.

Please be aware that deleting your account can’t be reversed, so make sure you want to complete this process before proceeding. If you change your mind after requesting deletion, you have 14 days to reactivate your account by logging into it. If you do not reactivate it, after 14 days your account will be permanently deleted.
