I went a bit wild creating different user profiles in my Netflix account and want to just get back to a single profile. What’s the easy way to delete user profiles from Netflix?
Ah yes, the old “too many Netflix accounts” problem. Just kidding. I know what you mean because my vision as a long-time Netflix subscriber is that I would set up a different profile for each and every member of my family then I wouldn’t see recommendations for shows or movies that match their tastes and they wouldn’t see mine. Good in theory, but unfortunately it ends up where everyone just signs in as me anyway and I get daft comedies and appalling teen fare on my own recommended list anyway.
While I would love to be able to get everyone to use their own profiles, it’s probably smarter to just succumb to the inevitable and remove the extra account profiles, just as you need to do too. So here’s how it’s done…
First off, when you log in to your Netflix account and have multiple user profiles, you see a set of options:
I’ll log in as, well, me. Everyone else does!
Now on the top right there’s a menu with some setting options:
Choose “Manage Profiles”, as highlighted.
Now you’ll see a list of every profile and its settings:
I’ll remove my Dad’s account as a demonstration, but the steps are identical for any profile.
Click on “Edit”.
You can see that the name can be changed, you can specify it’s a child’s account, you can limit what they can view (“Adults” is a menu of different content ratings) and, of course, you can click on the button you seek: “Delete Profile”.
Click on that.
I do, so I click again on “Delete Profile”.
Done. That’s it. Easy enough.
Hi, so if you deleted someone’s profile. What do they see the next time they try to log in? Will it make them set up an account?
So I have a Netflix account and I’m trying to delete a profile off of my account and I followed your exact steps but deleting profile is not an option.
This info is not at the top of my Ipad
Okay. So how can i remove the DAVE one? Because im trying to remove it but i cant because i sold my Ps4 and now the people i sold it are using it but i cant remove their profile which is on the very top. Please help!
My boyfriend put his Netflix on my TV, we broke up, and now I want it gone. Does he have to do this from his end or can I do it from my end? I do not have the password.
Put Netflix on your TV. Not sure what you mean. Do you have a Smart TV like a Samsung or LG where it’s an app he added? If so you should definitely be able to delete it again in the Settings or Configuration area. Good luck.
Thank you for the help, I have also wanted to clean up my Netflix account, the only problem is my mom’s profile. When I moved out I kept the Netflix account because she had gotten another one. The difficulty is that her profile was the first one made, and therefore not letting me delete it. I would be fine with not deleting it as long as I can completely reset the taste profile and things like it to make it almost a new profile.
Thank you in advance,
Joe C.
You might need to cancel the account and establish a new one. Call Netflix customer service, Joe, and see what they recommend!
Thanks for the information but when I follow your instructions I do not get a delete option??
