How to Delete Zoom Account Easily

In the age of telecommuting and online schooling, very few people have yet to hear about or use Zoom. However, if you've moved on from this online video teleconferencing platform to other communication mediums, you should learn how to delete Zoom account data right away.

Deleting your old Zoom accounts is one of the best ways to ensure continued information security. In fact, this is true of all your old, unused accounts. Whether you've left Facebook, Instagram, or any other online platform, leaving these accounts in place is a bad idea. Unused accounts are unmonitored, and they're at an especially high risk of data breaches.

Sadly, taking care of this essential business isn't always easy. This is especially true for account holders who no longer remember their login credentials or who've been locked out of their accounts for other reasons. The good news is that DoNotPay can help you delete your Zoom account even if you don't have access to the phone number or email address that's stored in your account profile and can no longer log in.

5 Important Reasons to Delete Your Zoom Account

Data breaches affecting accounts that aren't being monitored by consumers can go undetected for quite a long time. If you have lots of open online accounts that you're no longer using, unethical parties may be able to access some or all of your personal information at any time. Following are just five of the many reasons to delete your Zoom account when you know you'll no longer be using it:

If you're using the same login credentials on multiple sites, hackers can gain access to multiple accounts through your unmonitored Zoom profile.
The answers to the security questions you've used on Zoom can be used to access your data in other places.
Zoom may be bought or merged with another company and the security of your data could be impacted by these changes.
System-wide data breaches are becoming increasingly common.
There's no easier way to stop Zoom from sending you continued email marketing messages.

One important truth that many online companies are reluctant to admit is that your data is valuable to them. They're rarely happy to see it go. If you agreed to third-party information sharing when accepting a company's terms of service, this is all the more true. However, when third-party information sharing is allowed, closing an old account becomes all the more important.

To delete your Zoom account, you'll need to log in first. Once you're logged in:

Go to "Account Management"
Click "Terminate My Account"
Confirm your decision

With Zoom, account deletion is permanent. Once your request is completed, you'll be logged out of Zoom and directed back to its homepage.

Unfortunately, if you've forgotten your login credentials, you'll need to use the "Forgot My Password" link to recover your password before getting started. Zoom sends password reset links to the email addresses that account holders have on file.

Problems You Might Run Into When Deleting Your Zoom Account

You cannot delete your Zoom account unless you're able to log in. Worse still, if you no longer have access to the email that's stored to your Zoom account, you won't be able to reset your password. If you try to log in with the wrong credentials too many times, your Zoom account will be locked.

Once locked, your Zoom account can only be restored by confirming the email in your profile. For some users, this is a frustrating circle of problems that leaves them feeling as though they have no recourse.

Next Steps for Deleting Your Zoom Account If You Can't Do It Alone

If your efforts to log into your Zoom account have been fruitless, you can try contacting the company directly to submit an account deletion request manually. Keep in mind that you may still be required to submit verifying information you no longer have access to. You also have the option of researching all relevant privacy laws and consumer data protection laws on your own, and then drafting and submitting your own demand letter.

It's important to note that demand letters for account closures always carry more weight when submitted by lawyers. They're also guaranteed to be accurate and to include citations of every privacy and consumer data protection law that's relevant to your circumstances.
