You can delete a Roblox account through the account settings page, but the process takes 30 days and cannot be reversed

Roblox does not offer when ready account deletion. When you request deletion, your account enters a 30-day waiting period during which you can cancel the request. After 30 days pass, Roblox permanently removes your account, username, and all associated data — games you created, virtual currency, and purchase history. Once those 30 days are up, you cannot undo the deletion or recover anything tied to that account.

The delay exists partly as a safety measure: if someone gains temporary access to your account, you have time to cancel the deletion request before it becomes permanent. It also gives you a window to change your mind if you delete in anger or by mistake.

Key Takeaways

  • Deletion requests take 30 days to complete, and you can cancel anytime during that period by logging back in.
  • You must be logged into the account you want to delete — Roblox will not delete an account based on an email address alone.
  • All Robux (virtual currency) and game passes are lost permanently; Roblox does not refund them.
  • If you share a device with others, log out completely after requesting deletion so no one can accidentally cancel it.

Steps to request account deletion

Log into the Roblox account you want to delete. Go to the account settings page by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner of the Roblox website, then select Settings. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look for the Account section.

In the Account section, click Delete Account. Roblox will ask you to confirm your password. Type it in and click the button to proceed. You will see a message confirming that your account is scheduled for deletion and listing the exact date it will be permanently removed (30 days from that moment). Write down or screenshot that date so you know when the deletion becomes final.

After you submit the deletion request, log out of the account. Do not log back in unless you decide to cancel the deletion before the 30 days are up. If you are on a shared device, make sure no one else can access the account during this waiting period.

What happens during the 30-day waiting period

Your account remains visible to you if you log in, but it is flagged for deletion in Roblox's system. Other players cannot see your profile, and you cannot create new games, join games, or spend Robux. Any games you published remain on the platform but are no longer linked to your account.

If you change your mind at any point during the 30 days, log back into the account and go to Settings > Account again. You will see an option to Cancel Deletion. Click it, and your account will return to normal when ready. Your games, Robux, and friends list will all be restored.

What you lose when an account is deleted

Roblox permanently removes your username, so no one else can claim it. All Robux in your account — whether you purchased them with real money or earned them through game creation — are gone and cannot be recovered or refunded. Game passes you bought, cosmetic items, and any virtual goods are deleted as well.

Games you created are removed from your profile and your creation history, though Roblox may keep archived copies for legal or safety reasons. Your friends list, messages, and account history are erased. If you have a Roblox account linked to a third-party service like Discord or a gaming platform, that link is severed.

If you want to keep your account but stop using it

Deletion is permanent and irreversible after 30 days. If you are unsure whether you want to quit Roblox entirely, consider these alternatives instead: change your password to something you do not know and store it in a sealed envelope, remove payment methods from the account so you cannot spend money, or straightforward stop logging in. You can always return later if you change your mind.

If you are concerned about privacy or security, you can also change your username, make your profile private, or delete personal information from your bio without deleting the whole account. These steps let you reduce your digital footprint on Roblox without losing everything you have built.

Deletion on mobile devices

The Roblox mobile app does not have a built-in account deletion option. You must use a web browser on a computer or phone to access the settings page and request deletion. Open a web browser, go to roblox.com, log in, and follow the steps above. The deletion request works the same way regardless of which device you use to make it.

If you are using a phone browser, the settings page layout may look slightly different, but the Delete Account button is still in the Account section at the bottom of the settings page. Tap it and follow the same confirmation steps as you would on a computer.

What to do if you cannot access your account

If you forgot your password or no longer have access to the email address linked to your account, you cannot delete it yourself through the settings page. Contact Roblox Support through their help center at en.help.roblox.com. Explain that you want to delete the account and why you cannot log in. Roblox Support can verify your identity and process the deletion request for you, though this may take longer than the self-service method.

Have any information ready that proves you own the account: the username, the email address you used to create it, the date you created it, or any purchase receipts if you spent money on Robux. The more details you provide, the faster Support can confirm your identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone else delete my account if they know my password?

Yes. If someone gains access to your account, they can request deletion. However, you have 30 days to cancel it by logging in and clicking Cancel Deletion. Change your password when ready if you suspect unauthorized access, and contact Roblox Support if you cannot log in.

Will deleting my account remove me from games I created?

Your games remain on the Roblox platform after your account is deleted, but they are no longer linked to you. Other players can still play them, but your name will not appear as the creator. You lose the ability to edit, update, or earn Robux from those games.

Can I get a refund for Robux before I delete my account?

No. Roblox does not refund Robux under any circumstances, including account deletion. If you have unspent Robux, spend them on items you want before you request deletion, or accept that they will be lost.

What if I delete my account and then want to use the same username again?

Once your account is deleted, the username is permanently retired and cannot be claimed by anyone, including you. You cannot create a new account with that same username.

Does deleting my Roblox account affect other accounts linked to the same email?

No. Each Roblox account is independent. If you have multiple accounts under different usernames but the same email address, deleting one does not affect the others. You can delete them separately if you want.
