Registering with Temu has multiple benefits. You get free shipping on all orders and can return anything you don’t like within 90 days. However, there may come a time when you don’t really use the app anymore, prefer another shopping platform, or start questioning Temu’s legitimacy and whether it aligns with your shopping standards. This tutorial lays out how to delete your Temu account.
How to Delete Your Temu Account Permanently
You can delete a Temu account by heading to the Settings section of the app or on the website.
Delete a Temu Account on iPhone or Android
Open the app and navigate to the You tab. Click on the Settings option (gear icon) in the top-right corner, and choose Account security. Scroll down and tap on Delete your Temu Account.
The app will show some tips of what to do before deleting your Temu account. This involves reviewing your account to save any information you may need later, as deleting the account will remove everything. Make sure there are no ongoing or incomplete orders, as you won’t be able to track them once the account is gone. Additionally, if you have any available coupons or credits in your account, you may want to use them.
Once you have cleared any obstacles, tap I want to permanently delete my Temu account -> Continue. Provide a reason for deleting your account, and choose Continue -> Continue deleting -> Delete. Verify your identity, and tap Submit.

Click Continue deleting -> Delete. Verify your identity, and click Submit. A prompt will confirm that your deletion request was received by Temu.
What Happens When You Delete Your Temu Account?
When you delete your Temu account, you will be automatically logged out. All your personal information, including your account details (username, email, addresses, and other credentials), order history, payment methods, and wishlists will be deleted.
All unused coupons and credits associated with the account will also be removed. You won’t be able to use them anymore, and they won’t be refunded or transferred. If you’re still looking to save money, check out the best browser extensions that can help you save money while shopping.
How Long Does it Take to Delete Your Temu Account?
Account deletion typically begins after a short period of time (approximately seven business days) once your request is submitted. During this time, you can resolve any open matters on the platform. Temu will delete your account automatically and send you a confirmation email once that period of time has expired.
If you change your mind before the account is deleted, you can sign in to your Temu account, and click on the Cancel deletion request button in the prompt.
Creating and Deleting a Temu Account
Creating a new account on Temu, as well as deleting one, is straightforward. If you choose to continue using the platform, it is best to be aware of why Temu’s prices are so low, to make better purchase decisions.
