You can delete your Funimation account through your account settings, but the process removes your watch history and any saved content
To delete your Funimation account, log in to your account on the Funimation website, go to Account Settings, find the Delete Account option, and confirm the deletion. Funimation will send you a confirmation email — you must click the link in that email within a set time to complete the removal. Once deleted, your account cannot be recovered, and any subscription payments will stop.
The deletion process takes a few minutes to start but may take several days for Funimation's servers to fully remove your data. During that time, you will not be able to log in or access any content. If you have an active subscription, cancelling your account also cancels any remaining billing.
Key Takeaways
- Log into your Funimation account, navigate to Account Settings, and select the Delete Account option to begin the removal process.
- Funimation sends a confirmation email that you must click within the given timeframe — the deletion does not happen without that confirmation.
- Deleting your account removes your watch history, saved playlists, and any profile information permanently and cannot be undone.
- Any active subscription will stop billing when ready when you delete your account, but you lose access to Funimation content right away.
Steps to delete your account on desktop
Open Funimation in a web browser and log in with your email and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or account menu, usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select Account Settings or My Account.
In Account Settings, scroll down until you find a Delete Account, Close Account, or Remove Account option. Click that button. Funimation will ask you to confirm that you want to delete your account and will warn you that this action cannot be reversed. Read the warning, then click the confirmation button to proceed.
Funimation sends a confirmation email to the address linked to your account. Open that email and click the confirmation link inside it. If you do not click the link within the timeframe Funimation provides (usually 24 to 48 hours), the deletion request will expire and you will need to start over. Once you click the link, your account deletion is complete.
Steps to delete your account on the Funimation app
Open the Funimation app on your phone or tablet and log in if you are not already. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or your profile icon, depending on which version of the app you have. Look for Settings or Account Settings.
In Settings, scroll down to find Delete Account or a similar option. Tap it and confirm that you want to delete your account. The app will show you a warning that deletion is permanent. Tap the confirmation button to proceed.
Just as with the website, Funimation will send a confirmation email. You must open that email and click the link inside it to finish the deletion. The app deletion process works the same way as the website — the account is not fully removed until you confirm via email.
What happens to your data and subscriptions
When you delete your Funimation account, the company removes your watch history, saved playlists, ratings, and any profile information you added. You cannot recover this data after deletion. If you want to keep a record of what you watched, take screenshots or write down titles before you delete your account.
If you have an active paid subscription, it stops when ready when you delete your account. Funimation will not charge you again. If you paid for a subscription that has not yet started (for example, you prepaid for next month), contact Funimation support before deleting your account to ask about a refund — the company's refund policy depends on when your billing cycle ends and how much time remains on your subscription.
If you signed up for Funimation through a third-party service like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video Channels, deleting your Funimation account does not cancel the subscription through that service. You must cancel the subscription separately in your Apple, Google, or Amazon account settings to stop being charged.
If you want to keep your account but stop paying
Deleting your account is permanent, so if you might want to return to Funimation later, consider cancelling your subscription instead. To cancel without deleting your account, log into Account Settings and look for Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. Click that option and follow the prompts to stop your billing.
When you cancel your subscription, your account remains active but you lose access to paid content. You can still browse the free library and reactivate your subscription at any time by going back to Account Settings and selecting Resubscribe or Renew Subscription. Your watch history and saved content stay in place if you cancel rather than delete.
Troubleshooting if deletion is not working
If you do not receive a confirmation email after requesting account deletion, check your spam or junk folder — confirmation emails sometimes end up there. If it is not there, wait a few minutes and check again, as the email can take a short time to arrive.
If the confirmation link in the email does not work or says it has expired, log back into your Funimation account and request deletion again. You will receive a new confirmation email with a fresh link. If the link still does not work, try using a different web browser or clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then clicking the link again.
If you cannot find the Delete Account option in your Account Settings, your account type may not support self-service deletion. Contact Funimation support through their help page and explain that you want to delete your account. Provide your account email address and any other information they request. Support can delete your account manually, though this process may take longer than self-service deletion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my account after I delete it?
No. Once you confirm the deletion via email, your account is permanently removed and cannot be recovered. Funimation does not restore deleted accounts. If you think you might want to use Funimation again, cancel your subscription instead of deleting your account.
Will I get a refund if I delete my account mid-subscription?
Refund policies vary. If you delete your account, contact Funimation support before completing the deletion to ask about a refund for unused subscription time. Some subscriptions may be refundable depending on when your billing cycle ends, but this is not may provide.
Do I need to cancel my subscription before deleting my account?
No. Deleting your account automatically stops all billing. However, if you want a refund for remaining subscription time, you should contact support before deleting to ask about your options.
What if I signed up through Apple, Google, or Amazon?
Deleting your Funimation account does not cancel the subscription through those services. You must cancel separately in your Apple ID settings, Google Play account, or Amazon account to stop being charged by the third-party service.
How long does it take for my account to be fully deleted?
The deletion process starts when ready after you confirm via email, but it may take several days for Funimation to fully remove your data from their servers. You lose access to your account right away, but the company's systems may take time to complete the removal.
