How to Delete PS5 or PSN Account

Feb. 12, 2021

As a long-time console user, I have created a bunch of user accounts. Some for work related gaming, others for personal gaming, and even more for plenty of other reasons. The point is, having multiple accounts isn’t an issue really, but if you sign in with all those accounts on your PS5 it’ll be hard to keep track of what you’re doing on which account. So, if you have one too many user accounts on your console, here is how to delete PS5 accounts.

Deleting a user account from the PlayStation 5 is pretty straightforward. Here’s how you can delete your user account from a PS5.

On the other hand, if for some reason you want to delete your entire PSN account itself, you will have to do that through the Sony website. Here’s what you need to do.

I haven’t tried this method, obviously, but your request should get completed in a couple of days after which your account will be deleted permanently.

Basically, make sure you only delete your PSN account in the most extreme cases where there’s simply no other option left. Because once done, there is no way torecover the deleted stuff.

Moreover, you shouldpassword protect your PS5 purchasesas well to prevent any accidental purchases being made from your card.
