How to Delete Your Zed Account (Permanently)
Step-by-step: delete your Zed account the right way - cancel billing first, export what you need, then remove the account permanently.
How to delete your Zed account
- Cancel Pro first: zed.dev > Billing > Cancel.
- Open Account settings.
- Use Delete account and confirm.
Before you delete
- Local code is untouched - nothing to back up there.
- Synced settings and prompt history are deleted with the account.
- Cancelling billing and deleting the account are separate steps; billing must be off first.
What happens after you delete
Deletion removes your account, settings sync and prompt 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?

FAQ
Can I recover my Zed 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 Zed'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.
