ByHow to Delete an eHarmony Account: A Step-By-Step Guide
The popular website, eHarmony, is known for helping people find potential dating mates and helping them get to know each other better on a safe and friendly platform. However, a person may decide to delete their account for various reasons, including no longer needing one.

How do you delete an eHarmony account, and how do you know if you should delete your account? Read DoNotPay's guide to learn more.
How to Delete an eHarmony Account on Your Own
When yourself, you have three different choices depending on your account.
You have the option to delete your Basic Membership account, delete your Premium Membership account, or you can hide your account altogether.
| Basic Membership | When you delete a Basic or Premium Membership account on eHarmony, your information and messages are permanently removed and cannot be restored. Whether you are deleting your account via computer or cell phone, you will need to go to eHarmony's online website to complete the steps. |
| Premium Membership | If you are in the middle of a subscription with eHarmony but do not want to finish it, you must contact eHarmony's customer service. If your subscription is about to renew, you can choose not to and delete your account as you would do when deleting a Basic Membership. |
| Hide Your Account | If you want to take a break from eHarmony but don't want to delete it entirely, hiding your account may be a good choice. By hiding your account, your information will be kept private, and you can restart it at any time. |
The following is how to complete each option:
Delete an eHarmony Basic Membership
To delete your account, you will need to do the following:
- Log in to your online eHarmony account.

- Scroll down to the "Profile Status" section and click the highlighted link in the delete subsection.
- From there, it will ask for your password for verification.

Then you will be given the option to turn off your automatic renewal. Your current subscription will stay until the end date, but if you have any remaining charges or payments, eHarmony will bill them to your last subscription payment.

However, members who have added you to their favorites list or whom you had conversations with will still be able to view your profile.
