How Do I Delete My Dev Azure Account?

Published in Azure Account Management 2 mins read

You can't directly delete a developer Azure account. Azure accounts are designed for long-term use, and there's no built-in option to permanently remove them. However, you can disable your account or cancel your subscription to effectively stop using it.

Here's how to proceed:

1. Disable Your Account

  • Sign in to the Azure portal: Navigate to https://portal.azure.com and log in using your Azure account credentials.
  • Go to your profile: Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the portal and select "Azure portal settings".
  • Disable your account: In the settings menu, choose "Disable account". This will prevent you from accessing your account.

2. Cancel Your Subscription

  • Navigate to your subscription: In the Azure portal, go to "Subscriptions" in the left-hand menu.
  • Select your subscription: Choose the subscription you want to cancel.
  • Cancel the subscription: Click on "Cancel subscription" and follow the on-screen instructions. This will stop billing for your subscription.

Note: Disabling your account will prevent you from accessing your resources, but they will still exist. Canceling your subscription will ultimately delete your account and all associated resources after a grace period.
