ByHow to Delete Your Wix Account Successfully
Wix is a company that enables a person to create a cloud-based website to use for blogs, informational purposes, or whatever else they may need. A person can create either/both a mobile website or one for a desktop.
But what happens when you forget your password and can't get into your account? Is there a way you can
Even if you haven't forgotten your password, having an old account that you don't use anymore is a huge risk to your data security. These kinds of accounts are prone to data breaches due to not being monitored very closely. It's important to protect your data and delete the account immediately.
Deleting an account you can't get into is a very frustrating process, but DoNotPay can make it easier for you. Instead of spending hours, or even days, trying to figure out a way to get rid of your inaccessible account, let DoNotPay do the work for you.
Why Should You Delete Your Wix Account?
If you don't have access to it, or simply don't use it anymore, then there's up. An unused account usually isn't monitored very closely, and the website host certainly won't do it for you.
Some websites may make a promise of security, but there's no guarantee it's something they can uphold. Just as banks can be victims of data breaches, so can site hosting websites.
Reasons to Delete Your Wix Account
- You don't want to be a victim of a data breach due to an unmonitored account
- Wix often charges for the use of hosting a website, so you may continue to be charged, even if your account is inactive
- You can still get spammed with emails from Wix
- Wix collects and stores personal data
- You may be locked out and have no access to your account
To sum it up, there's no good reason to keep an inactive account.
How to Delete Your Wix Account By Yourself
Deleting your Wix account can be a little confusing, especially if you're not sure how to navigate the website efficiently.

Here are the basic steps for deleting your Wix account, as listed on the Wix website:
- Cancel/transfer your existing Wix services and domains. You should be sure to cancel all of the services you're paying for to ensure you don't continue being charged for something you're no longer using.
- Move your sites to the trash. You'll want to delete your sites to make sure it's done correctly before closing your account.
- Remove domains connected to your account. You can transfer your domains to another host, or simply remove it from Wix if it's already hosted by another domain.
- Click to close your account
The frustrating part about deleting a Wix account without knowing your password is that you'll have to reset the password before you can continue. So, if you don't know the answers to your security questions or don't have access to the email connected to your account, then you may be out of luck when trying to delete the account on your own.
