Guide to Deleting an Epic Games Account from PC or Mobile

Deleting an Epic Games account can be a more complicated process than it may seem at first glance. Often, simply pressing a delete button is not enough, and it might not be obvious where to find the option to do so. However, if you want to leave your Epic Games account behind without appearing offline, the process is manageable. Additionally, it's important to note that Epic offers a 14-day grace period for account recovery after deletion.

The easiest way to delete your Epic Games account is through the browser on your computer. It is essential to remember that this action will result in the permanent loss of purchases, personal data, game progress, in-game content, Unreal projects, and the balance of your Epic Games wallet.

1. Log in to your Epic Games account and access the Account Settings through the browser.
2. Scroll down to the Delete Account section and select the red button that says Request Account Deletion.
3. Read the warning that appears, and if you are sure you want to continue, select Delete Account.
4. Enter the six-digit security code you will receive in the email associated with your Epic Games account, and then select Confirm Account Deletion.
5. Choose the reason for wanting to delete your account from the dropdown menu and select Continue. This option is optional.
6. In the final confirmation window, you can choose to log out of your disabled account or log back in if you change your mind.

How to Delete an Epic Games Account on Mobile

You also have the option to delete your account from the Fortnite mobile app. This process is similar to the PC method but more accessible if you have Fortnite installed on your mobile device.

1. From the Fortnite app, go to Account and Privacy in the settings. Look for the option to Delete Account and select the button to Open Website.
2. Once redirected to the website, scroll down to the Delete Account section in the Account Settings and select the red button that says Request Account Deletion.
3. Read the warning that appears and select Delete Account if you are sure of your decision.
4. Enter the six-digit security code you received in the email associated with your Epic Games account and select Confirm Account Deletion.
5. Indicate the reason for wanting to delete your account in the dropdown menu and select Continue, although this option is optional.
6. Finally, in the last window, you can choose to log out of the disabled account or log back in if you changed your mind.

Remember that after deleting your account, you have a maximum of 14 days to log back in and recover it. If you do not do so within that timeframe, you will not be able to recover the deleted account.
