Delete your Hive Social Account Permanently
Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to delete your Hive account permanently. You must first deactivate your Hive account to proceed with the permanent deletion. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you delete your Hive Social account permanently.
Before you proceed, remember that once you delete your account, all of your data will be permanently deleted, so make sure you have saved any data or photos you may want to keep.
- Open the Hive app on your phone.
- Tap on the profile icon on the bottom-right of your screen.
- Now, tap on the gear icon on the top-left to open the Settings page.
- Tap on Security.
- Under the Deactivation entry, tap Deactivate.
- Type “Yes, deactivate my account” (without quotes) in the text field and tap Deactivate Account. Make sure to type everything exactly the same as this phrase is case-sensitive.
- Tap Delete to confirm.
- Once done, your account will be deactivated. Upon 14 days of inactivity, your Hive account will be deleted permanently.
Note: Make sure you don’t log in to your account during the 14-day period. If you do so, your account will be reactivated and, therefore, will not be deleted.
