We are unable to delete accounts on your behalf.

If your account was created through Google or Apple single sign-on, please head over to the Account Settings tab and click "disconnect" next to where it says "Connected to Google/Apple."

If you never set up single sign-on, or you registered via magic link, you can delete your account from your Account Settings page.

Please know that any content you may have posted to Reddit won’t be deleted when your account is deleted. You’ll need to remove any content you want deleted before deleting your account.

You can also read more about deleting your account in our related help center article.

If you created your account with Google or Apple Single Sign On (SSO) please review our help center article on how you can change your username. Otherwise, usernames cannot be changed in any way including capitalization. You are more than welcome to create a new username, and even tie it to the same email address, as long as you're not using it to break our site-wide rules.

We also do not recycle usernames of inactive users or deactivated accounts.

If you have two factor authentication set up and cannot log into your account, please review our help article on steps you can take to get back into your account.

If you have forgotten the email address, but know your password, you can log into your account and view/update your email address in your account settings. If you’re on the mobile app, tap your profile icon in the upper left-hand corner of your screen, select Settings > your username > Update email address.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do to help if you’ve forgotten or lost access to the email address on your account and can’t remember your password.

Please first try clearing the app cache:

- For iOS, device Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Reddit app > Offload App
- For Android, Settings > Apps > Reddit app > Storage > Cache > Clear cache

Secondly, try connecting to Reddit on WiFi or on your cellular data, whichever one you weren’t using before. If that doesn’t work, go ahead and uninstall/reinstall the app, as this tends to help most redditors who are experiencing issues.

If the issue is still not resolved, send us screenshots or a video recording of the error. In your response please include your username, the device and version you are accessing Reddit on, and any other information you see relevant to the issue.

Please note: We’ll only follow up if we need more information.

There could be a few reasons why you don’t see your post. For more information, please visit our help center article.
