# How can I delete my Blink account?

## Deleting your account (permanent)

To permanently delete your Blink account:

1. **Withdraw your funds** — Send any remaining balance to another Bitcoin wallet. Once the account is deleted, funds cannot be recovered.
2. Open the **☰ menu** (top left) → **Settings** → **Account** → **Danger Zone**.
3. Follow the prompts to confirm deletion.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**This action is irreversible.** Your username will be permanently retired and cannot be reused by anyone — including you. Your phone number will become available for a new account after a short waiting period.
{% endhint %}

## Removing an account from your device (not deletion)

If you use Blink's **Switch Accounts** feature, you may see an **✕** button next to each account. Tapping **✕** only removes the account from your device — it does **not** delete the account.

To add the account back to your device, go to **Switch Accounts** → tap **+** → log in with your phone number or email.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you only want to sign out or remove Blink from one device while keeping your account active, use Switch Accounts or simply uninstall the app. Your account and funds will remain safe.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faq.blink.sv/creating-a-blink-account/how-can-i-delete-my-blink-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
