To permanently delete your Amazon account, which includes your Prime membership, you need to close your Amazon account through a web browser.
Here's how to do it:
- Go to the Close Your Amazon Account page: Use a web browser (desktop or mobile) and navigate to the specific Amazon account closure page. You can typically find this page by searching "Close Amazon Account" on the Amazon website or via a direct link (though this link may change, so searching is often best).
- Review the conditions: Amazon will likely present a list of services and data that will be affected by closing your account (e.g., access to your purchase history, Kindle books, etc.). Read these carefully!
- Confirm the cancellation: You will need to confirm that you understand the implications of closing your account.
- Follow the instructions: Amazon will guide you through the final steps, which might involve verifying your identity.
Amazon will then take a few days to complete the deletion process. It's important to remember that this action is permanent and irreversible. Ensure you've downloaded any important data (order history, photos, etc.) before proceeding.
