ByHow To Delete Your Turnitin Account
Finishing school often involves forgetting about the digital tools you use on a nearly daily basis almost immediately. However, it is better to learn that your campus does not delete after you graduate. Here is an overview of how DoNotPay can help you delete your Turnitin account.
How to Delete a Turnitin Account by Yourself
Instructors and administrators can delete their Turnitin accounts within the administrator homepage. However, the site does not appear to provide instructions for deleting a student account or the papers you have uploaded to the site once you have left your school or university. You may learn by contacting Turnitin directly through email, phone, or social media. However, choosing DoNotPay is a much faster and easier option that saves you the headache of trying several options yourself.
Reasons to Delete Your Turnitin Account
Once you graduate from high school or college or even finish a specific class that requires you to create a Turnitin account, chances are you will never have a reason to use it again. Deleting your account as soon as it makes sense to do so can get the site's obnoxious marketing emails out of your inbox and help protect your personal information in case the company experiences a data breach in the future.
Taking this step early on is especially important if you used your student email address to create your account, as most schools and universities will delete your email account within a relatively short amount of time after your last semester, which can make it much harder to access and delete your Turnitin account.
Issues You Might Run Into Deleting Your Turnitin Account
Turnitin's instructions for deleting an account are vague at best and may not provide you with much reassurance that your data will be deleted. Instructors or other administrators may delete their accounts or remove student users from the administrator homepage. However, the site does not provide information about deleting anything from the student side of the platform.
Although your instructor will likely delete your information once you finish a course, you cannot be certain this has happened without contacting your instructor. Both students and administrators may lose access to their accounts if their campus email addresses change or are deleted altogether.
Alternative Ways to Delete Your Account
The last thing you want to do in deleting your account is to remember your old login details. However, if you want to take that path, here are some things you may do:
| Password Manager | You’re lucky if you have used a password manager for a long time. Open your password manager and locate the account you want to delete. It’s too easy to log back into the account and delete it. |
| Access the email you have used to register for the account. Check if you have saved a copy of your login details to your inbox folder. | |
| Recovering Passwords | Access the website where you want to delete your account. Click on “Forgot Password?” and follow the prompts. Hope that the mobile number or email address you are using now is the same as what is registered on your account. |
If you don’t want to do the above-stated processes, let DoNotPay do the work for you.
