How to Cancel Your Netflix Account

Netflix is quite flexible. You can always cancel at any time. More importantly, there are no additional fees for the cancellation.

If you have made up your mind to cancel your Netflix account, do the 2 simple steps below.

The following method only works for the Streaming plans. Here’s how:

Go to your Netflix Account Settings.
On your account page, choose the Cancel Membership button.

Or, if you are in subscribing to the DVD plans, which is only works in the US, you can do the steps below:

Go to your Netflix Account Settings.
On your Account page, choose cancel your DVD plan.

What will happen when you cancel your Netflix account?

When you cancel your Netflix account, it doesn’t mean you lose your access to Netflix immediately. Netflix still allows you to watch movies until the end of your billing period.

For example, you cancel it on January 3rd, but your billing will end on January 24th. It means you can still continue watching movies and TV shows on Netflix until January 23rd.

After that, you won’t have access to Netflix nor be charged again until you restart your account.

After the cancellation, Netflix will still keep all of your information, like your watch list, recommendations, ratings, and other account details for 10 months. Why? It’s because Netflix wants to give you time in case you change your mind. So, if you come back to Netflix before 10 months, you won’t need to set up anything again from the beginning.

How to delete your Netflix account

Netflix doesn’t provide any delete button on the Account Settings page so it will be impossible to delete your Netflix account instantly. However, it doesn’t mean that you cannot delete your Netflix account. You can still do it, but you need to be patient.

Your Netflix account will be deleted if your account stays idle for over 10 months after the cancellation.

However, if you cannot wait that long and need to delete your Netflix account quickly, you can cancel your account and then send an email to [email protected] using the account that you want to delete.

That’s how you delete your Netflix account.

How to rejoin Netflix after cancellation

You’re definitely able to go back to Netflix. All you need to do is restart your Netflix Account from the Account page.

When you restart your Netflix account, you will be able to watch all content on Netflix again just like before. Do the steps below:

Open Netflix and login.
Choose any profile, but the Kids profile and go to Account page.
Select Restart Your Membership.

Now, you will be able to enjoy your favorite movies and TV shows again on Netflix. Since you restart the membership, it means you need to pay for the monthly billing as well.
