Hulu subscribers may want to have a break from the service or switch to another streaming platform. You can cancel your subscription and resubscribe when you want to come back. However, for privacy or personal data concerns, you can choose to permanently delete your Hulu account. If you’ve already canceled your subscription, the deletion can start right away. If your subscription is still active, account deletion begins with canceling your subscription. You can choose to delete your account now or after your current billing cycle.

If you want to delete your Hulu account permanently, here’s a step-by-step guide.

How to Delete Your Hulu Account

Before deleting your Hulu account, please be aware that once the process is complete, the account deletion will be permanent and cannot be undone. Your personal information, account settings, and login information will be removed, and you will not have access to Hulu with the deleted account credentials.

If you wish to proceed, follow the steps below.

  1. Log in to your account at hulu.com. Click your profile icon at the top right and select “Account.”
  2. Scroll down and select “Your US State Privacy Rights“ under “Privacy and Settings”.

  1. Click “START DELETION” on the pop-up window:
    • If you’ve canceled your subscription, it will start the deletion process.
    • If your subscription is active, choose “Delete my account now” or “Delete my account later“, and click the “START DELETION” button to begin the process of canceling your subscription. You can access Hulu until your current billing cycle ends if you choose “Delete my account later.”

Hulu will send a confirmation letter to your account email address. Check your email to verify your identity, and follow the instructions to finalize your account deletion request. This email is typically valid for 30 days. Your deletion request will be canceled if you do not confirm within this period.

How to Cancel Your Hulu Subscription

If you have an active Hulu subscription, you’ll need to cancel it before you can complete your account deletion request.
