ByHow To Delete Oculus Account Easily
If you are not using your old Oculus account anymore, deleting it can help keep your data from being misused. However, this process can be challenging. Here is an overview of how DoNotPay can help you easily.
Reasons to Delete Your Oculus Account
Tech trends often have a shelf life, and you may no longer be as intrigued by the concept of virtual reality as you were prior to trying it out. If you find that you are in this type of game or decide that you are wasting too much time playing it that could be better spent on other things, it may be in your best interest to completely delete it instead of simply not logging in.
Inactive accounts are prone to online theft and you are putting personal information in danger when you have an unmonitored Oculus account.
How to Delete Oculus Account By Yourself
Oculus offers two slightly different methods for deleting your account, which depend on whether you log into your account through Facebook or through the Oculus website.
- Facebook users can find the "Delete Your Oculus Data" button by clicking their Facebook profile picture and navigating to Profile > Privacy Center > Delete Your Oculus Data.
- Users of the Oculus website can find this option by clicking their profile picture within Oculus and navigating to My Profile > Privacy Center > Delete Your Oculus Account.

Issues You Might Run Into Deleting Your Oculus Account
The process for successfully deleting your Oculus account depends on how you log into your account, and attempting to follow the wrong list of steps can result in thinking your account was deleted when it actually was not.
Oculus also includes a 30-day time frame during which you can choose to cancel your deletion request and restore your account, which means that it is possible for Oculus to retain your full account for longer than you are aware of. The site may also take up to 90 days to completely delete all data associated with your account, with the exception of certain elements that must be kept indefinitely for legal purposes.
Next Steps for Deleting Your Oculus Account if You Can't Do It Yourself
Deleting your Oculus account on your own may not be your best option, especially since the site makes it clear that your data will not be deleted immediately. This may leave you wondering whether it will ever be deleted properly at all.
Choosing DoNotPay is a faster and easier option for ensuring that your data will be handled properly without having to ask multiple times. Once you provide us with some basic information about your account, we will contact Oculus on your behalf to make sure that it is deleted properly.
