Delete Your Audeus Account
If you want to close your Audeus account, you can submit a deletion request directly from your settings. This will permanently delete your account, your personal details, and your reading library.
Once requested, your account and files are scheduled for deletion. This process can take up to a few days, but your account may be deleted at any time. You can cancel the request at any time before the deletion is complete.
Cancel Active Subscription Renewals before Account Deletion
Before requesting account deletion, make sure to cancel any active automatic subscription renewals to avoid further billing:
- Web Subscriptions: Cancel your billing renewal by visiting your Billing Settings or following the steps in our guide on Canceling Your Audeus Subscription.
- Apple App Store and Google Play Subscriptions: If you subscribed through an Apple App Store in-app purchase or Google Play Store subscription, you must cancel the renewal in your Apple or Google account settings before submitting your deletion request. Audeus cannot automatically cancel Apple or Google Play billing renewals for you.

Data Privacy and GDPR Compliance
We treat your personal information and library files with care. When you request to delete your account, Audeus immediately begins a complete purge of your email address, preferences, and documents from our database. This automated process satisfies GDPR and other global data protection regulations, ensuring your private data is permanently erased.
FAQ about Deleting Your Audeus Account
Will deleting my account automatically cancel my subscription? Only for web-based subscriptions. If you subscribed through an Apple App Store in-app purchase or Google Play Store subscription, deleting your Audeus account will not cancel your subscription renewal. You must cancel the auto-renewal in your device settings to avoid future charges. For details, see our guide on Canceling Your Audeus Subscription.
Can I recover my documents and highlights after my account is deleted? No. Once the deletion process is complete, all documents, library folders, and saved highlights are permanently erased. Audeus customer support cannot recover this data. If you only want to free up space in your library without closing your account, read our guide on how to Delete Documents and Manage Storage.
How long does it take for the account deletion to complete? Account deletion is scheduled immediately upon request and typically completes within a few days, but it can occur at any time. If you change your mind, you must cancel the request from your settings before the process finishes.
