Deleting your account

If you've decided to leave Forever Canadian, you can delete your account yourself. It's a two-step flow with an email check at the end. Please read this through first — the action is permanent.

What gets deleted

Your profile, posts, comments, likes, group memberships, event RSVPs and check-ins, messages, notifications, support tickets, and uploaded files are all removed. Two important cascades:

• If you're the sole creator of any groups, those groups and all their content get deleted with your account.
• If you organized any events, those events and all their RSVPs and shift signups get deleted with your account.

How to delete your account

Open your profile from the sidebar. Scroll to the Account card and look for the Danger zone section at the bottom.

1. Press Delete account. A dialog opens listing exactly what will be removed.
2. Type DELETE (in capital letters) into the confirmation box. The confirm button stays greyed out until you do.
3. Press Yes, permanently delete my account.
4. The dialog swaps to a Check your email screen. Your account is not gone yet.
5. Open the email we send and click the confirmation link within one hour. That's when the deletion actually happens and you're signed out.

If you don't click the link within an hour, your account stays untouched and you can carry on as normal.

Before you delete

If you only need a break, signing out and not coming back works just as well — your data won't be touched, and you can return any time.

Cannot delete?

The Danger zone only shows up after you've finished onboarding. If you haven't completed the onboarding stepper yet, finish that first and the section will appear.

If you press Delete account and see an error about admin audit history, that's a rare case where our team needs to handle the deletion manually — press No, this didn't help below to send us a message and we'll take care of it.
