What Happens When I Close My Account?
Once your account is closed, it is no longer accessible. You won't be able to access your order history or print a proof of purchase or an invoice. The closure also affects related customer accounts, features, and services that are linked to your email address and password across any Amazon sites globally.
We recommend you download any of the content you uploaded to one of our services (such as Amazon Photos), before closing your account.
Closing your account permanently means you won't have access to the products and services associated with your closed account, such as:
