# Delete your account

> Export what you want to keep, hand over anything shared, then delete the account.

[Try it in Plot](https://app.inkwell.software/settings/account)

Deleting your account removes every project you own and cannot be undone. The steps below make sure nothing you wanted goes with it.

1. **Export what you want to keep**

   Settings → Profile → Your data → **Export my data** downloads a JSON archive of everything in your account — projects, save points, notes, feedback, chats, and profile. For a script you want to open elsewhere, [export a PDF, FDX, or Fountain file](https://www.inkwell.software/help/writing/export-pdf-fdx-fountain) first.

2. **Hand over shared projects**

   A project you own disappears for its members too. Transfer ownership from the project's members list to someone who should keep it, or tell them to export.

3. **Cancel a paid plan**

   Deleting the account ends the subscription; nothing further is billed. If you only want to stop paying, cancel from Settings → Plan & usage instead and keep the account on the free plan.

4. **Delete**

   Settings → Profile → **Delete account** asks you to type your email to confirm. Once confirmed, you are signed out and the deletion begins.

> **Careful: What is removed**
>
> Every project you own, its save points and draft lines, your notes, your API keys, and your account details. Share links stop working immediately.
