1. How to Permanently Delete Your Hulu Account

Before you can delete your Hulu account, you’ll need to cancel any active subscriptions.

Step 1. Cancel Your Hulu Subscription

If you have an active Hulu subscription, you’ll need to cancel it before you can request to delete your account. Here’s a step-by-step guide to canceling your subscription:

1. Go to hulu.com and log in to your Hulu account.
2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account from the drop-down menu.

3. Locate the section titled “Your Subscription” and click Cancel next to “Cancel Your Subscription”.

4. You’ll be offered the option to pause your subscription instead of canceling. If you’re sure you want to cancel, select “Continue to Cancel” and then confirm by clicking “Cancel Subscription.”

Once your cancellation is completed, you’ll still have access to Hulu until the end of your current billing cycle without any further charges. However, if you’re canceling during your trial period, keep in mind that you’ll lose access to Hulu immediately.

Note: If you subscribed through a third-party platform like Apple or Spotify, you might need to cancel your subscription there first before deleting your Hulu account.

Step 2. Delete Your Hulu Account

Once you’ve canceled your Hulu subscription, you can request them to delete your account and all associated information. Keep in mind that the account deletion is permanent, and this action cannot be undone. Your account settings and login credentials will be erased, and you won’t be able to access Hulu again using the deleted account.

If you wish to proceed with deleting your Hulu account, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to your account at hulu.com on a web browser.
2. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select “Account.”
3. Scroll down and select  “Your US State Privacy Rights“ under “Privacy and Settings”.
4. In the “Right to Delete” section, click “Start Deletion.”
5. Hulu will send a confirmation email to the address associated with your account. Check your email and follow the instructions provided to finalize your account deletion request.
