Delay for deleting the OnlyFans account
Deleting an OnlyFans account is not instant. It is important to understand the method and the time frames involved.
Average length
OnlyFans indicates that all of this may take up to 30 days.
This period is in line with industry standard practices and data protection regulations like the GDPR in Europe.
During this 30-day period, your data is gradually deleted from the OnlyFans servers:
- Your personal information
- Your IP address
- Your downloaded content
- Your interactions (comments, likes, messages)
- Your payment details
It is important to note that during this time, your account is no longer accessible, neither by you, nor by other users of the platform.
To speed up the removal
If you have reason to want to speed up this part, you can contact OnlyFans customer service directly:
- Send an email to support@onlyfans.com.
- In the subject line, mention “Request for expedited account deletion.”
- In the body of the message, explain your case for faster treatment.
- Provide all the information needed to identify your account (username, associated email).
OnlyFans generally processes these requests within a period of 48 to 72 hours. However, even with this accelerated method, some data may persist in system backups for a short additional period of time.
Tips to avoid problems
To ensure that everything goes smoothly and that your interests are protected, follow these tips:
1. Save important content
Before deleting your account, be sure to download all the content you want to keep, such as:
- Your photos and videos
- Your important messages
- Your transaction histories
OnlyFans doesn't offer a bulk download tool, so this process can be time-consuming. Allow plenty of time for this step, especially if you've been an active creator for a long time.
2. Verify that you have followed all the steps
This process is irreversible. So be sure to follow each step meticulously:
- Log in to your user account
- Go to settings
- Locate the account deletion option
- Carefully read all the data provided
- Solve the captcha if necessary
- Confirm your choice
If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to contact OnlyFans Support for assistance.

After initiating the process, ensure that:
- Your profile is no longer visible to everyone
- Your content is no longer accessible
- Your personal information is no longer displayed
You can ask a friend to check if your profile is still visible on their side.
4. Confirm that your account is closed
After the deletion period (usually 30 days), try to sign in to your account. If everything has been done correctly, you should not be able to log in.
- Let your followers or creators you follow know about your departure, if necessary.
- Cancel every subscription or renewal
- Monitor your bank statements in the following months to make sure there are no unexpected withdrawals.
