How to Delete Your pikel Account

Deleting your Pikel account is a one-way door. There's no 7-day cooldown, no "deactivate and come back," and no undo — when it finishes, your account and everything attached to it are gone for good, and you're signed out on the spot. That's by design: it's the setting you reach for when you want a clean, permanent exit. Because it's irreversible, this guide walks the gentler options first, then shows you exactly where the button lives and what happens the instant you confirm.

Step 1 — Make sure delete is really what you want

Most people who head for Delete Account actually want something smaller. Before you go nuclear, check whether one of these does the job:

• Too many pings from one club? Leave that club instead — you keep your account and every other group.
• Overwhelmed by notifications? Mute the chat or turn off game reminders. Your account stays exactly as-is.
• Just need a break? Sign out. Your profile, clubs, and stats all wait for you, and you're one tap back in whenever you're ready.

Deleting erases all of that permanently. If any of the above covers you, stop here — you don't need this guide.

Step 2 — Export your data first (optional)

If you'd like a copy of your history before it disappears, grab it now — after deletion there's nothing left to export. Tap your avatar on Home to open your profile, tap the Privacy & data tile, and tap Download My Data, which sits just above Delete Account. It's on both apps, and Pikel packages up your account data so you keep a record.

Step 3 — Open Privacy & data and find Delete Account

Tap your avatar on Home to open your profile, then tap the Privacy & data tile. Delete Account is the last row on that screen, in red, right under Download My Data. (Sign Out is a different button, at the bottom of the Profile screen itself — it only signs you out.)

It is the same place on both apps. There is no separate entry anywhere else.

Step 4 — Confirm you really mean it

Tapping Delete Account opens a warning titled "Delete Account?" on both platforms. On iPhone it reads "This will permanently delete your account, all your data, and remove you from all groups. This cannot be undone." Android says the same thing more briefly: "Your account and all data will be permanently deleted. This cannot be undone."

This is a two-step gate on purpose, on both apps: the Delete button stays disabled until you type the word DELETE into the confirmation field. That deliberate friction is there so an account this important can't vanish on an accidental tap. Change your mind at any point? Tap Keep as is (Android: Cancel) and nothing happens.

Step 5 — What happens the moment you confirm

Confirming kicks off a short, automatic sequence:

1. Apple token revocation (iPhone, if you used Continue with Apple). Pikel first revokes your Sign in with Apple token, satisfying Apple's requirement that deleting an account also disconnects the Apple credential. This is best-effort — if you signed in with Google or email, this step simply reports "nothing to revoke" and moves on, and even if Apple can't be reached, deletion still proceeds.
2. Full server-side cleanup. Pikel then runs the deletion on the server. It removes your profile and everything that cascades from it — club and group memberships, RSVPs and attendance, messages, match results and standings, notifications, and your push device tokens — and finally deletes your login record itself.
3. You're signed out instantly. With the account gone, the app drops you back to the first screen, with Join for free and Log in. There's no lingering session and no "recently deleted" folder to fish it back out of.

From here, the only way back into Pikel is to create a fresh account — which starts you at zero, with no history from the account you just removed.

Pro tip

If you're leaving because of one bad club experience or a noisy chat, don't burn the whole account down — you'll lose your DUPR link, your match history, and every other club you're part of, all of which are a pain to rebuild. Leave the one club, mute the one chat, or just sign out. And if you are certain, tap Download My Data first: it's the only way to keep a copy of your games and stats, and it takes ten seconds you can't get back afterward.
