Delete your Mathway account through the app settings or website
To delete your Mathway account, log in to your account on the Mathway website or app, go to your account settings, and look for a "Delete Account" or "Close Account" option. The exact location varies slightly between the web version and mobile apps. Once you select delete, Mathway will ask you to confirm—this step is permanent and cannot be undone. Your account, saved problems, and subscription will be removed.
If you cannot find the delete option in settings, contact Mathway support directly through their help center. They can process the deletion for you and answer questions about what happens to your data. Keep in mind that deleting your account does not automatically cancel a paid subscription; you may need to cancel that separately to stop charges.
Key Takeaways
- Account deletion is permanent and removes your saved problems, history, and all personal information associated with your Mathway account.
- If you have an active paid subscription, canceling the subscription and deleting the account are two separate steps—do the subscription cancellation first to avoid future charges.
- The delete option is located in account settings on both the website and mobile app, though the exact menu path may differ slightly.
- Mathway support can delete your account if you cannot locate the option yourself or if you encounter an error during the process.
Locate the delete option in your account settings
On the Mathway website, log in and click your profile icon or username in the top right corner. Select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. Scroll down to find "Delete Account," "Close Account," or "Deactivate Account"—the wording depends on which version of the site you are using. Click that option to begin the deletion process.
On the Mathway mobile app (iOS or Android), open the app and tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right or top left corner. Navigate to "Settings" and then "Account." Look for the delete or close account option near the bottom of the account menu. Tap it to proceed.
Confirm the deletion and understand what happens
After you click delete, Mathway will display a confirmation screen explaining that the action is irreversible. You may be asked to re-enter your password or confirm your email address to verify you are the account owner. Read the confirmation message carefully—it will tell you what data will be removed (usually your account, saved problems, and history).
Once you confirm, your account is deleted immediately. You will be logged out, and you will no longer be able to sign in with that email address. If you want to use Mathway again in the future, you will need to create a new account with a different email or the same email after a waiting period (which varies by Mathway's policy).
Cancel your paid subscription before deleting
If you have an active Mathway Plus or other paid subscription, deleting your account does not automatically stop the charges. You must cancel the subscription separately before or at the same time as deleting your account. Go to your account settings and look for "Subscription," "Billing," or "Manage Subscription." Select the option to cancel or downgrade to the free version.
If you delete your account without canceling the subscription first, contact Mathway support with your order details and request a refund or cancellation. Provide the email address associated with your account and your subscription start date. Support can usually process this within a few business days, though refund may be able to access depends on how long you have had the subscription and Mathway's refund policy at the time.
Contact Mathway support if you cannot delete your account
If the delete option does not appear in your settings or if you receive an error message when trying to delete, reach out to Mathway support. Visit the Mathway Help Center (usually found at a link in the footer of the website or in the app's settings menu) and select "Contact Us." You can submit a support ticket describing the problem, and a support agent will respond within one to two business days.
When you contact support, include your account email address, the device or browser you are using, and a description of what happens when you try to delete. If you have a screenshot of an error message, attach it. Support can manually delete your account if there is a technical issue preventing self-service deletion.
What to do if you want to keep your account but stop using it
Deleting your account is permanent. If you think you might want to return to Mathway later, consider deactivating instead—some services offer this as a temporary alternative. Check your account settings to see if a "Deactivate" option exists separate from "Delete." Deactivation usually hides your account and pauses your subscription without removing your data permanently.
If Mathway does not offer deactivation, you can simply stop using the app and let your free account sit inactive. If you have a paid subscription, cancel it to stop charges, but leave the account itself in place. This way, if you change your mind, you can log back in and reactivate your subscription without losing your history.
Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting my account stop my subscription charges?

What if I forgot my password and cannot log in to delete my account?
Use the "Forgot Password" link on the Mathway login page to reset your password. Enter your email address, and Mathway will send a password reset link. Once you reset your password and log in, you can proceed with account deletion. If you no longer have access to the email address associated with your account, contact Mathway support with proof of identity.
Does Mathway delete my data immediately after I request deletion?
Your account is removed from Mathway's active systems immediately, but data deletion from all servers and backups may take longer. Mathway's privacy policy will specify how long they retain deleted account data. If you need confirmation that your data has been fully removed, contact support after deletion and request written confirmation.
Can I delete my account on the mobile app and the website separately?
No. Your Mathway account is the same across all devices and platforms. Deleting it on the website or app deletes it everywhere. You only need to delete once, and you will be logged out of all devices immediately.
