How to Delete Your Cursor Account (Permanently)
Step-by-step: delete your Cursor account the right way — cancel billing first, export your data, then remove the account permanently.
How to delete your Cursor account
- Cancel Cursor Pro first: cursor.com > Settings (dashboard) > Manage Subscription > Cancel.
- Sign in at cursor.com and open Settings/Account.
- Use "Delete Account" in the account settings, or email privacy@anysphere.inc.
- Deleting the account signs you out of the editor — uninstall the app separately.
Cursor is desktop-only; manage the account at cursor.com.
Before you delete
- The Cursor editor keeps working as an editor after deletion — you lose AI features and synced settings.
- Team/Business seat members must be removed by the workspace admin.
- Any indexed-code data on their servers is removed with the account; request confirmation via privacy email if compliance matters.
What happens after you delete
Deletion removes your account, settings sync and usage history. 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 Cursor was costing you a standalone subscription, Krater gives you 500+ AI models in one workspace for a single $20/month Pro plan. One subscription replaces several single-model subs. Compare plans on our Cursor pricing breakdown or see every model we support.

FAQ
Can I recover my Cursor account after deleting it?
No. Deletion is permanent on Cursor. A few products (X, Microsoft) hold the account in a deactivated state for about 30 days first, but once the window closes it 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 Cursor's refund policy — most AI products do not refund unused time.
Is deleting the same as cancelling?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but keeps your account and history. Deleting removes the account entirely. Most people should cancel first, keep using the free tier until the period ends, then delete.
