  7. You might need to confirm your identity again by entering your password or receiving a verification code.

  8. Once confirmed, your Samsung account will be deleted.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

  • Sign out of devices: Before deleting your account, make sure to sign out of Samsung accounts on all your devices (phone, tablet, watch, etc.) to avoid data access issues.
  • Data deletion: Samsung will delete your data associated with the account, including contacts, photos, Samsung Pay information, and more.

To remove your account, head over to your device’s settings, tap ‘Accounts And Backup’, tap ‘Accounts’, choose your Samsung account, tap ‘Personal Info’ and then hit ‘Sign Out’.
