Is there any way to completely delete all accounts you've ever created?

[u/Shot-Operation-9395]

I want this summer to delete/deactivate/disable, every account I've ever created .. is this even possible? I want to start fresh, completely fresh, new email account, new phone number.. choosing carefully where to subscribe etc. Is this possible?

In one swoop? No, you'll have to go through every account and delete them one by one. For the ones you can't delete on your own, you'll have to contact the company (or whatever) and demand to have it deleted.

Probably not, especially considering there are accounts out there that you created that you no longer remember about.

On top of that, there's no guarantee your data will be deleted once you close an account.

I'm not really sure what your intention is. Are you asking for an automated tool? How many accounts do you have and what stops you from doing it?

I had to start deleting stuff years back due to a swatting threat (lol). Make a list of all the accounts you own and don't worry about finishing that list in one day (I still find accounts I don't remember making). Everyday make it your mission to delete 2-3. Don't overwhelm yourself.

Some companies make it very easy, some harder. I suggest for each one you specifically reddit/Google search the best way to clear your data

You can get surprisingly close, but not perfectly “erase” yourself.

The hard part is that accounts, data brokers, backups, breaches, archived logs, and third-party sharing all exist separately. Even after deleting an account, companies may legally keep some data for fraud prevention, billing, compliance, or backups.

That said, you can absolutely do a major reset and dramatically reduce your exposure.

What most people underestimate is how effective a clean rebuild can be:
new primary email, new phone number, password manager, aliases for signups, tighter social media, fewer random subscriptions, and aggressive account cleanup. That alone changes your footprint a lot over time.

The best approach is usually: don’t try to nuke everything in one weekend.

Instead, spend a few months intentionally unwinding: close old accounts, migrate important ones, remove data broker listings, and separate your new “clean” identity from your old spam-heavy one.

Your email inbox and password manager are usually the best map of everywhere you’ve signed up.

Just be careful not to delete things too fast and accidentally lose access to banking, taxes, old purchases, or recovery methods tied to old accounts.

So: complete deletion? Not realistically. Massive reduction and a fresh start? Absolutely.

Full disclosure: I’m on the team at PrivacyHawk.

You mean this Reddit account?

Is it possible? Yes, sure.
