How to Delete Your Goodreads Account Profile

If you shop online, use any social media, use online forums, run a website, or create other accounts, you know that you have to put in different personal information. Depending on the account, you may give your real name, address, email address, phone number, debit or credit card information, or even your social security number.

What happens when you stop using that account? Your information sits there, unmonitored. Old accounts are easy targets for hackers and data leaks, meaning your personal information could more easily be compromised. Protect your private information, and learn how to delete your Goodreads account with the help of DoNotPay.

What Is Goodreads?

Goodreads is a website for readers. Whether you are a casual reader or a self-proclaimed bibliophile, you can digitally organize your books or find your next favorite. You can create lists to track books you have read, are reading, or want to read. You can also get personalized book recommendations, see what your friends are reading, and read community reviews.

If you no longer use Goodreads or have found a book-tracking website or app you prefer better, you may be wondering how to delete your Goodreads account.

What You Should Know About Deleting Your Goodreads Account

Deleting your Goodreads account will:

• Delete your account data
• Delete the lists of books you have shelved
• Remove books you've rated and reviewed
• Remove your Friends list from the Goodreads site
• Authors can delete their accounts in the same way as other users.
