Step by step
- 1
Cancel your VSCO membership
Deleting your account does not cancel a membership. Cancel it where you bought it: Apple, Google Play or VSCO.co.
- 2
Switch a phone-number login to an email
If you signed up with a phone number, VSCO says to replace it with an email address you can access before deleting, then delete from the web Account page.
- 3
Sign in at vsco.co and verify the login
VSCO sends a verification email. You have to confirm the login from that email first, otherwise the delete step shows an error.
- 4
Open your Account page and the Privacy & Data tab
Choose Delete Account and enter your password.
- 5
Wait for the deletion to finish
It can take several hours to remove your data, and your profile may stay publicly viewable until then.
Watch out for
- Deleting is permanent. It removes your profile, content, purchases and associated account data. Deactivating is reversible: sign back in to reactivate.
- A VSCO Workspace account is separate. Deleting your VSCO account doesn't delete it, and the reverse is also true.
- Your profile can still be visible for several hours after you delete.
- Phone-number accounts need an email address added before the web route works.

If you can't log in
Contact VSCO Support. VSCO says it may ask for your username, the linked email or phone number, and a government ID scan.
What stays out there
Deleting your VSCO account removes your profile from VSCO. Photos you shared elsewhere, and any copies others saved or scraped while your profile was public, aren't touched. A public profile with a username you reuse on other sites is also easy to link back to your real name, and people-search sites and search results can keep that link after the account is gone.
Serus finds where your details are listed and removes them, and keeps watching for them to come back.
