To delete your account through email support, follow these steps:
- Send an email to deletion@openai.com from the email account associated with the ChatGPT account you want to delete. In the subject line, write "Account Deletion Request" and in the body of the email, include the request "Please delete my account".
- After submitting your request to delete your account through either the Help Chat or email support, OpenAI will review your request and complete the process within 1-2 weeks.
If you do not want to delete the entire ChatGPT account, there is an option to delete individual conversations with the chatbot. This is useful if one wants to keep the account but clear out old conversations that are no longer needed. ChatGPT stores all of the conversations, allowing the person to revisit or resume them at any time, but deleting them is a straightforward process.
