# Account Deletion

> How to delete your AgentPowers account and what happens to your data

## Overview

Account deletion is a **30-day soft-delete**. When you request deletion, your account is scheduled to be permanently deleted 30 days later. You can cancel at any time during this window.

## Requesting Deletion

### Via the Dashboard

1. Go to **Dashboard → Settings → Account**
2. Scroll to the **Danger Zone** section
3. Click **Delete Account**
4. Type `delete my account` to confirm
5. Click **Schedule Deletion**

Your account is now scheduled. You will receive a confirmation email.

### Via the API

```bash theme={null}
curl -X DELETE "https://api.agentpowers.ai/v1/users/me" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"confirmation": "delete my account"}'
```

Returns:

```json theme={null}
{
  "message": "Account deletion scheduled.",
  "scheduled_at": "2026-04-11T00:00:00Z"
}
```

## Cancelling Deletion

Sign in to your account at any point before the deletion date to automatically cancel the request, or cancel explicitly:

### Cancel via the Dashboard

Return to **Settings → Account** and click **Cancel Deletion**.

### Cancel via the API

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.agentpowers.ai/v1/users/me/cancel-deletion" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
```

<Note>
  Signing in before the deletion date automatically cancels the request — you don't need to do anything extra.
</Note>

## What Happens to Your Data

### During the 30-day grace period

* Your account is hidden from the marketplace (profile, skills not listed)
* Existing buyers retain access to skills they purchased
* You cannot publish new skills or submit reviews

### At deletion (day 30)

| Data                        | Outcome                                  |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Profile (name, bio, avatar) | Anonymized                               |
| Email address               | Removed                                  |
| Published skills            | Archived (buyers retain access)          |
| Purchase records            | Retained for 7 years (IRS compliance)    |
| Stripe seller account       | Not deleted — managed via Stripe Connect |
| Pending payouts             | Processed before purge                   |

<Warning>
  Financial records (purchases, payouts, Stripe IDs) are retained for 7 years to meet legal and tax requirements. All personal identifiers are removed from these records.
</Warning>

## Blockers

Deletion may be delayed if:

* You have **pending payouts** that haven't cleared yet — wait for the payout to process
* You have **in-progress purchases** — wait for checkout to complete

The API returns a `409 Conflict` with a detail message describing the blocker. Resolve the blocker and retry.

## Email Reminders

You will receive:

1. **Confirmation email** immediately after scheduling
2. **Reminder email** 3 days before the deletion date

If you don't receive these emails, check your spam folder or contact support.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I recover my account after 30 days?**
No. Once the grace period passes and your account is purged, recovery is not possible.

**What happens to skills I published?**
Your skills are archived and hidden from the marketplace. Buyers who already purchased them retain download access, but the skills cannot be discovered or purchased by new users.

**What happens to my Stripe Connect account?**
Your Stripe Connect account is not automatically deleted. Log in to Stripe to manage it directly. Pending payouts are processed before your account data is purged.

**Can I create a new account with the same email after deletion?**
Yes, once your account is fully purged you can sign up again with the same email address.
