# Delete Account (Withdrawal)

When you delete your account, all data collected and settings configured in Ptengine will be permanently removed. Please note that accounts on a paid plan cannot be deleted. You must first **cancel your subscription (downgrade to the free plan)** before submitting a withdrawal request.
