To delete your DigiLocker account, you'll need to log in to your account through the DigiLocker website and navigate to the account deletion option within your profile settings. Here's a breakdown of the steps:
-
Login to DigiLocker: Go to the official DigiLocker website and sign in using your registered mobile number and security PIN or your username and password.
-
Access Profile Settings: Once logged in, look for an option like "Settings," "Profile," or "My Account." The specific wording might vary slightly depending on updates to the DigiLocker interface.
-
Find the Delete Account Option: Within your profile settings, you should find an option to "Delete Account" or something similar. This is usually located towards the bottom of the settings page or within a section related to account management.
-
Confirm Deletion: Clicking the "Delete Account" option will likely prompt a confirmation request. You might need to enter your security PIN or OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your registered mobile number to verify your identity and confirm the deletion request.
-
Account Deletion Processing: After confirming, your account deletion process will begin. It may take some time for the account to be completely removed from the system.
Important Considerations:
- Data Loss: Deleting your DigiLocker account will permanently erase all documents and data stored within it. Ensure you've downloaded or backed up any important documents before proceeding.
- Reactivation: It may not be possible to reactivate a deleted DigiLocker account using the same mobile number immediately. There might be a waiting period.
- Contact Support: If you encounter difficulties or cannot find the "Delete Account" option, contact DigiLocker support for assistance.
Please note that the DigiLocker interface may change over time. Refer to the official DigiLocker website or app for the most up-to-date instructions.
