# How do I delete my Overleaf account?

**This page describes when and how you can delete your Overleaf account.**

If you are using a managed Overleaf account, only your account administrator can delete your Overleaf account. If you are not sure if your Overleaf account is managed or want to learn more about managed accounts, see our [information for managed users](/latex/knowledge-base/137-understanding-managed-overleaf-accounts.md).

Overleaf accounts that are not managed by someone else can be deleted at any time. If you no longer wish to use your Overleaf account and would like to remove all data associated with your account, please follow the instructions below.

### Deleting your Overleaf Account

Log into your Overleaf account and navigate to your account settings at <https://www.overleaf.com/user/settings>. Please ensure you are signed in to the account you wish to delete by checking the email addresses associated with the account that you have logged into. To delete the account you are logged into, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Delete your account."

Note that this will permanently delete all of the Overleaf projects owned by your account (including older projects from ShareLaTeX and Overleaf v1). Projects shared with you from other accounts will not be deleted.

If you have used Writefull via Overleaf, you will also have a separate Writefull account. To delete your Writefull account, please contact <support@writefull.com>.

If you are not able to delete your account this way, you may email us at <privacy@overleaf.com>.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/knowledge-base/057-how-do-i-delete-my-overleaf-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
