You can delete a Roblox account through the account settings page, but the process is not reversible

Roblox does not have a self-service delete button. Instead, you submit a request through their support form, and Roblox staff review it before removing your account. The deletion is permanent — you cannot recover the account, the username, any Robux (the in-game currency), or games you created once it is gone. If you have spent money on Robux or own virtual items, understand that deleting the account means losing access to all of it.

The process takes a few days to a few weeks depending on how busy Roblox support is. During that time, your account remains active and visible to other players. You can cancel the deletion request if you change your mind before Roblox completes it.

Key Takeaways

  • Roblox account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, so read or screenshot anything you want to keep before you request it.
  • You must submit a deletion request through the official Roblox support form using the email address tied to your account.
  • Roblox staff will send a confirmation email asking you to verify the deletion — you must click the link in that email or the account will not be deleted.
  • The account remains active and visible to other players until Roblox completes the deletion, which usually takes several days to two weeks.
  • If you own Robux or virtual items, they will be lost permanently when the account is deleted.

Before you request deletion: what you will lose

Take inventory of what is attached to the account. If you have spent real money on Robux, that money is gone — Roblox does not refund Robux when you delete an account. Any virtual items, game passes, or cosmetics you bought are also lost. If you created games or experiences on Roblox, those will be deleted along with the account.

If you have screenshots, recordings, or creative work you want to keep, save those files to your computer before you start the deletion process. You cannot recover them after the account is gone. If the account is linked to other services (Discord, YouTube, or other platforms), those links will break once the account is deleted.

How to submit a deletion request

Go to the Roblox support page at roblox.com/support. Click the button to create a new support ticket. In the category dropdown, select "Account" and then "Delete Account" from the subcategory menu. You will see a form asking for the email address associated with your Roblox account.

Enter the email address exactly as it is registered with Roblox. In the message box, type a brief reason for deletion if you want to, though Roblox does not require one. Click submit. Roblox will send a confirmation email to that address within a few hours.

Do not close the browser or navigate away from the page until you see a message saying your request was received. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, check your spam folder or resubmit the request.

Verify the deletion through your email

Roblox will send you an email with the subject line "Roblox Account Deletion Request" or similar. Open that email and look for a link or button that says "Confirm Deletion" or "Verify Deletion." Click it. This step is required — if you do not click the link, Roblox will not delete the account.

The link will take you to a Roblox page asking you to confirm one more time that you want to delete the account. Read the warning message carefully. Click the final confirmation button. After this step, the deletion process begins, and you cannot cancel it.

What happens after you confirm

Your account will remain visible to other players for a few days while Roblox processes the deletion. You will not be able to log in, but the username and profile will still appear in search results and in other players' friend lists. This is normal and does not mean the deletion failed.

Roblox will send you a final email when the deletion is complete, usually within two weeks. At that point, the account, username, and all associated data are permanently removed from Roblox servers. The username becomes available for someone else to use.

If you want to keep the account but limit access instead

If you are concerned about privacy or security but do not want to lose the account permanently, consider these alternatives. You can change your password to something very long and random, then store it somewhere you will not access it — this effectively locks you out without deleting anything. You can also change your email address to one you no longer use, making it harder for anyone to recover the account if it is compromised.

You can make your profile private so other players cannot see your games, friends list, or activity. Go to Settings, then Privacy, and toggle off "Who can message me" and "Who can see my friends." This keeps the account but limits what others can see. If you are worried about a child's account, you can instead set parental controls through the account settings.

If you change your mind before deletion is complete

You can cancel a deletion request only before Roblox completes it. Contact Roblox support again through the same form and explain that you want to cancel the deletion. Include the email address of the account. Roblox staff will review the request and may be able to stop the deletion if it has not been processed yet.

Once Roblox sends the final confirmation email saying the deletion is complete, the account cannot be recovered. There is no way to undo it after that point.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Roblox requires verification through the email address tied to the account. Even if someone knows your password, they cannot delete the account without access to that email address. If you think someone has your password, change it when ready and enable two-factor authentication in your account settings.

Will deleting my Roblox account delete my Discord or YouTube account?

No. Deleting your Roblox account only removes the Roblox account itself. Any linked accounts (Discord, YouTube, Twitch) will remain active. The link between them will break, but the other accounts are not affected. You may need to re-link them to other services if you create a new Roblox account later.

How long does it take for Roblox to delete an account?

Usually between three and fourteen days, depending on how busy Roblox support is. You will receive a final confirmation email when it is done. During the waiting period, you cannot log in, but the account will still be visible to other players.

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

No. Roblox does not refund Robux under any circumstances, including account deletion. If you have unspent Robux, it will be lost when the account is deleted. Spend any remaining Robux before you request deletion if you want to get some value from it.

What if I forgot the email address linked to my account?

You will need to recover access to the account first. Go to the Roblox login page and click "Forgot password or username." Follow the recovery steps to regain access. If you cannot recover the account, contact Roblox support with proof of ownership (like a receipt for Robux purchases) and explain the situation.
