How to Delete an OnlyFans Creator Account
If you’re a creator, there are a few extra steps to complete before your account can be permanently deleted.
Ensure your balance is zero—withdraw any remaining funds
Cancel all active subscriptions (yours and your subscribers’)
Wait until your fans’ subscriptions expire
Once there are no active subscriptions or scheduled earnings, proceed to delete your account via the Account settings tab
OnlyFans will not let you delete a creator account if you have pending earnings or fans with ongoing subscriptions.
How to Cancel OnlyFans Subscriptions Before Deletion
To avoid continued charges, you should cancel your subscriptions before deleting your account.
- Log in to OnlyFans
- Go to the profile of any creator you’re subscribed to
- Click the Auto-Renew toggle to turn it off
- Repeat for each subscription you have
Subscriptions will remain active until their expiration date. Deleting your account ensures no future renewals.
What Happens After You Delete Your OnlyFans Account?
Once your account is deleted:
Your profile will no longer be visible
All posts, messages, and content will be removed
No further charges will occur
Your email and username will no longer be reusable for a new account
If you’re a subscriber, any remaining subscription time is lost. If you’re a creator, you must ensure fans’ subscriptions end first.
How to Remove Payment Information Before Deleting
Although deleting your account removes all stored data, you may still want to manually remove payment details for extra peace of mind.
Currently, OnlyFans does not let you manually remove credit card information from your account. However, once the account is deleted, your billing data is purged from their system according to their privacy policy.
Can You Temporarily Deactivate OnlyFans?
OnlyFans does not offer an official temporary deactivation or pause feature. Your options are:
Switch account visibility to Inactive (for creators)
Delete your account and create a new one later if needed
For creators, setting your account to Inactive allows you to stay on the platform without publishing content or being discovered.
What to Do Before Deleting Your Account
Download any content or media you want to keep
Notify your subscribers, if you’re a creator
Check for any ongoing billing cycles
Withdraw any remaining earnings (for creators)
Turn off auto-renew subscriptions (for fans)
Taking these steps ensures a smooth and complete closure of your OnlyFans presence.
