What to Do If You Want to Delete Your WiX Account

If you're thinking about deleting your Wix account, just follow these simple steps in one go: Log in to your Wix account and to access your user profile, simply click on the icon in the top right corner. 

Choose "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu, and then scroll down the "Account Settings" page to find "Delete Account." When asked to confirm your decision, click "Delete Account" again. 

A pop-up will appear, kindly asking you to share your reason for leaving, so go ahead and provide your reason, add any extra comments, and hit "Submit." You'll receive an email confirming the account cancellation shortly after.

Remember that this action is permanent, and all your website data will be gone for good. 

If you're only looking to cancel your Wix subscription plan, don't worry; deleting your account isn't necessary. You can simply cancel your plan from the "Billing & Payments" tab in your account settings.

Getting Rid of WiX Subscription

First, sign in to your Wix account and head to the top right corner of your dashboard screen. You'll find the account profile icon in the right corner there. Click on it to access your account settings and further options.

When you click on the account profile icon, a small window opens, presenting various options such as Domain, Business Email, and Billing History. 

To cancel your Wix account subscription, simply click on "Premium Subscriptions."

When you click "Premium Subscriptions" from the drop-down menu, you'll see a list of all your active paid subscriptions. 

You'll notice an ellipsis (...) in the bottom right corner. Click on it, and another drop-down menu will appear, presenting various options. You will select "Cancel Subscription".

Once you've clicked "Cancel Plan," a pop-up will appear asking you to confirm your decision by selecting "Cancel Premium Plan." 

You can repeat these steps to cancel any other Subscription Plan. So when you click on the “Cancel Now” the  first step to cancel WiX subscription is completed.

Get Rid of Your Sites by Moving Them to the Trash

When you log in to your Wix account, you'll notice the "My Sites" option in the top left corner of your dashboard screen. To begin the guide for trashing your site, click the "My Sites" button. 

In this section, you'll see a list of all your sites and the available site actions displayed below each one. To proceed, find the site you want to work with and click on the site actions that are visible right there. 

After clicking on "site actions," a new pop-up will appear with a list of actions, you can perform on your site. Since our goal is to delete the site, look for the "Move to Trash" option, which you'll find towards the end of the pop-up. 

When you click the "Move to Trash" option, your site will be moved to the trash. If you have any other sites on Wix that you'd like to trash, you can simply follow these steps again. 

Remove Your Domain From WiX

To get rid of your Wix domain, first head to the dashboard of your Wix account. In the upper right corner, you'll see your account profile, which shows the email or name associated with the account you're logged in to. 

Click on your email or name, and a pop-up will appear with various options such as billing details, email, and more. To proceed with getting rid of the domain, please select the "Domain" option from the list. 

Once you've clicked on "Domains," you'll be taken to a page where you can manage all your domains. 

Find the site you want to work with and click on its site action. Among the available options, you'll find "Remove from Wix."

When you click the “Remove from the WiX,” a confirmation page asks if you want to Remove Domain.

Get Rid of Your WiX Account

Head to the dashboard, and in the top right corner, you'll find the account settings by clicking on your account profile.

Remember that this juncture presents your last opportunity to reconsider; otherwise, click "Terminate My Account."
