In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of deleting your Apple Music account, so you can start fresh or simply free up some space on your device.
Before you begin, it’s worth noting that deleting your Apple Music account will also cancel your subscription, and you will no longer have access to the service.

- Select “View Apple ID” or “iTunes & App Store” from the menu.

- Scroll down and tap on “Subscriptions.” If you don’t see this option, it means you don’t have an active subscription.
- Select “Apple Music Subscription” from the list of subscriptions.
- Tap on “Cancel Subscription” or “Manage.” This will vary depending on your device and iOS version.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to cancel your subscription. You may need to confirm your cancellation and enter your password again.
- Once your subscription is canceled, scroll down and tap on “Delete Apple Music Account.” This will remove your account from Apple Music and cancel your subscription.
- Confirm your decision by tapping “Delete Account” or “Delete.” This will finalize the process and remove your account from Apple Music.
After deleting your Apple Music account, you may want to remove your account from your device’s settings. Here’s how to do that:
- Go to your device’s Settings app.
