Deleting your Roblox account removes it from the platform for good
When you delete a Roblox account, the account and all its data — username, Robux balance, game progress, friends list, and creation history — are permanently removed. Roblox does not restore deleted accounts, so this action cannot be undone. You will lose access to any games you created, any Robux you purchased, and any items you owned in-game.
The deletion process takes place through your account settings and requires you to confirm your identity by entering your password. Roblox will send a confirmation email to the address linked to your account. You have a short window to confirm the deletion before the request expires.
Key Takeaways
- Deleted Roblox accounts cannot be recovered, so download or screenshot anything you want to keep before you start.
- You must log in to your account and navigate to Settings to begin the deletion process — you cannot delete an account you do not have access to.
- Roblox sends a confirmation email after you request deletion, and you must click the link in that email within a set time to complete the process.
- If you have Robux or Roblox Premium remaining on your account, that value is lost when the account is deleted.
Steps to delete your account through the website
Log in to your Roblox account on the website (roblox.com). Click the gear icon in the top right corner to open your account menu, then select Settings.
In the Settings page, look for the Account tab on the left side. Scroll down until you see the Delete Account section near the bottom. Click the red Delete Account button.
A pop-up window will appear asking you to enter your password to confirm your identity. Type your password and click Delete Account again. Roblox will then send a confirmation email to the address linked to your account.
Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a message from Roblox with the subject line about account deletion. Open the email and click the confirmation link inside. This link will take you to a page where you confirm the deletion one final time. After you confirm, your account will be scheduled for permanent deletion.
What happens to your Robux and Premium membership
Any Robux remaining in your account — whether you purchased it or earned it through game creation — is lost when your account is deleted. Roblox does not refund Robux or convert it to real money. If you have a Roblox Premium subscription active, it will be cancelled and you will not receive a refund for the remaining time on your membership.
If you have spent money on Robux or Premium recently and want that money back, contact Roblox Support before you delete your account. Roblox may be able to process a refund depending on how recently the purchase was made and your account history. After deletion, there is no way to recover or refund any spent money.
Backing up your data before deletion
Before you delete your account, take screenshots or notes of anything you want to remember. This includes usernames of friends you want to stay in touch with, names of games you created, and any personal information you stored in your profile or messages.
Roblox does not provide an automatic way to download your account data, so manual screenshots are your only option. Open each game you created and take a screenshot of the title and description. Check your messages and friends list and write down the usernames of people you want to contact through another platform.
If you cannot access your account
If you forgot your password or no longer have access to the email address linked to your account, you cannot delete the account yourself through Settings. Instead, contact Roblox Support through their help center at roblox.com/support.
Explain that you want to delete your account and that you cannot log in. Roblox Support will ask you to verify your identity by answering security questions or providing information about your account history. Once they confirm you own the account, they can process the deletion for you. This process usually takes longer than self-service deletion.
The deletion timeline and what to expect
After you click the confirmation link in the email, your account is marked for deletion but does not disappear immediately. Roblox typically removes the account within a few days, though the exact timing is not publicly specified. During this waiting period, you will not be able to log in, but the account still technically exists in Roblox's system.
Once the deletion is complete, your username becomes available for someone else to use. Your profile page will no longer be viewable, and any games you created will be removed from the platform. Other players will see that your account no longer exists if they try to visit your profile or send you a message.
Reasons to delete your account and alternatives
Players delete their accounts for different reasons: they no longer play Roblox, they want a fresh start with a new username, or they want to remove their data from the platform. Before you delete, consider whether one of these alternatives might work better for your situation.
If you want a new username but want to keep your progress and Robux, you can change your username without deleting your account. Go to Settings, click the Account tab, and look for the Username section. You can change your username once every 30 days for free, or pay Robux to change it more often. If you want to step away from Roblox temporarily without losing your account, simply stop logging in — your account will remain inactive but intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my account after I delete it?
No. Roblox does not restore deleted accounts under any circumstances. Once the deletion is complete, the account and all its data are permanently gone. If you think you might want to return to Roblox in the future, consider taking a break instead of deleting.
What happens to games I created after my account is deleted?
All games you created will be removed from the Roblox platform and will no longer be playable. Other players will not be able to access them. If you want to preserve your game, you should download the game files or take detailed screenshots before you delete your account.
Will my username be available for someone else to use?
Yes. After your account is fully deleted, your username becomes available and another player can create a new account with that same name. If you want to reserve your username, change it to something you do not care about before deletion, though this does not prevent others from using your original name eventually.
Do I lose money if I delete my account with Robux still on it?
Yes. Robux cannot be refunded or transferred to another account. If you have Robux remaining, you will lose that value when your account is deleted. Spend your Robux on items or passes before deletion if you want to get some use out of it.
How long does it take for my account to be completely deleted?
Roblox typically removes the account within a few days after you confirm the deletion email. You will not be able to log in immediately after confirming, but the account may still exist in Roblox's system for a short period before it is fully purged.
