How to Delete Your Amazon Q Developer Account (Permanently)

How to delete your Amazon Q Developer account

1. Cancel the Pro subscription in the AWS console first.
2. Remove the Amazon Q Developer subscription/users in Identity Center.
3. Delete the AWS IAM Identity Center user or close the AWS account entirely if nothing else lives there.

Deleting your AWS account is a bigger step than deleting the Q subscription - make sure nothing else runs on the account first.

Before you delete

• Local code is untouched - nothing to back up there.
• Pro request history and settings are deleted with the subscription/user.
• Cancelling billing and deleting the account are separate steps; billing must be off first.

What happens after you delete

Deletion removes the Q subscription, request history and settings. Local code on your machine is untouched.

Deleting removes your account; it does not get you a refund for the current billing period. If you are leaving because of the price, there is a cheaper way to keep the same capability.

Leaving because of the price?

If Amazon Q Developer was costing you a standalone subscription, Krater gives you 500+ AI models in one workspace for a single $20/month Pro plan. Compare plans on our Amazon Q Developer pricing breakdown or see every model we support.

FAQ

Can I recover my Amazon Q Developer account after deleting it?

No. Deletion is permanent - the account and its data are removed and cannot be restored.

Do I get a refund when I delete my account?

Deleting the account does not trigger a refund. Cancel the subscription first and check Amazon Q Developer's refund policy.

Is deleting the same as cancelling?

No. Cancelling stops future billing but keeps your account. Deleting removes the account entirely. Most people should cancel first, export what they need, then delete.
