Delete your account

You can delete your SearchIlm account yourself at any time. It takes a minute and needs your password.

How to do it

  1. Sign in to SearchIlm with the account you want to delete.
  2. Open Settings and go to the Delete account section.
  3. Press Delete account and enter your password.

The SearchIlm Android app uses the same account. Deleting it on the website deletes it in the app too.

What is removed

Your account goes right away, with everything tied to it:

  • Your email, display name and password hash.
  • Your bookmarks and the notes on them.
  • Comments, questions, answers and reactions you posted, and flags you raised.
  • Your chat messages and conversation memberships.
  • Research studies and reports you wrote, with their cover images.
  • Quiz results, your Learn Arabic plan and reputation points.
  • Referral earnings and withdrawal requests.
  • A teacher profile if you have one: certificates you uploaded, listings, sessions, availability and reviews.
  • Studio covers you made and your daily smart search count.

Is anything kept?

A few records stay, with your name taken off them. Reports you sent about search answers stay so moderators can finish reviewing them. Image download counts stay as plain totals. Neither is linked to you after the account is gone.

Cannot sign in?

Reset your password from the forgot password page first. If that does not work, contact us from the email on the account and we will delete it for you.
