How can I delete my MySpace account?I'm done with MySpace. After all the bad publicity and weirdoes that are apparently hanging out on the site, I want to just cut free and leave no trace behind. How do I do that, Dave? Well, first off can I point out that with millions of members, MySpace inevitably has some oddballs just as you would find in any group of that size. The vast majority of people on the site, however, seem to be nice friendly folk. Perhaps you need to revise your friend list rather than leave entirely? Anyway, if you are prepared to cancel and quit your account, here's how you do it. First, log in and click on "Account Settings" next to your page, then click on "Change Account Settings". You'll see: ![]() You want to click on the link "Cancel Account". Now you'll get the big warning: "WARNING: Cancelling your MySpace account will PERMANENTLY REMOVE all of your profile information from MySpace, including your photographs, comments, journals, and your personal network of friends. This information cannot be restored. You may re-register your current email address after cancelling, but you will need to rebuild your personal network from scratch." and you'll see this: ![]() If this is truly what you want to do, click on "Cancel My Account" and you'll vanish from the world of MySpace, from everyone's friends list, and similar. You can then start over, or you can leave it alone forever. Good luck to you, either way.

I created a MySpace account about 6 months ago and it was going good until one day when I could not log in. I clicked on "lost password" and entered my email address and it says it doesn't exist. Poof! My email address has been erased from their database. I emailed them about it and got the typical email they send telling me about cookies blah blah blah. Thats not my problem. The problem lies with their database. Then I tell them to just delete the damn thing. They asked for a salute so I sent them one. Its been 4 months now and my profile is still there and I can't log in. MySpace has absolutely no customer service. They suck, period. Abbie said, on March 29, 2007 5:52 PM:

Hi Dave! I was hoping that you could assist me in deleting the two myspace accounts that i have created. Apparently once a year i decide that i want to check it out. I believe each account has a different email address and i have absolutely no idea what either password could be--I've tried every combination that i can remember ever using. Please help me. Thank you so much. Thomas said, on April 29, 2007 8:38 PM:

Hello, Dave, Melissa said, on July 3, 2007 11:53 AM:
Hello. Okay so I have been phished on myspace. So it asks me to change my password. First I logged out and logged back in to make sure i was in the right site, myspace. When I changed my password, now i"m locked out. It says this: if you got locked for being phished in the last hour, it's a bug! we're working on fixing it right now. sorry about that! the mechanism to detect if your account has been phished has been very powerful for stopping phishing, but it went a little haywire just now. things should be back to normal soon! if you're wondering what phishing is, read my blog :) Now I am not sure if Tom locked me out or the phisher!! Please let me know how to proceed. At this point I'm afraid to do anything! thanks,

Now I have an e-mail address but it's under "myspace.com" and most of the announcements or messages from my friends will go to that e-mail account.

MySpace is not sending confirmation email for cancelling accounts. srm said, on October 15, 2007 12:36 PM:
I cancelled myspace account like 5 days ago but it's still there. I replied to the email and verified my request to delete. It told me that it takes 48 hours but its been like over 100 hours now and still it's not deleted. How effin long does it take? the reason why i need to recreate the account as a band profile and want to use the same url . But I dont know what to do. I am getting paid to do this for a radio dj and they are waiting on me. I am waiting on Myspace to delete it. Geeeesh what gives? Wilson said, on October 16, 2007 11:45 AM:
Try posting pornography especially to your profile image if you can sign in. This will likely lead to a ban. Just a suggestion though. Alyssa said, on October 18, 2007 3:33 PM:
