Deleting your Netflix profile
Before you delete your Netflix profile, there are some things you should know. First, the profile’s viewing history and activity will no longer be available once you remove it. So, if you’re in the middle of watching something and like to pick up where you left off or retain your watchlist for what to watch next, you should transfer your profile to a new account.
Additionally, you cannot delete the main profile on your Netflix account. For that, you will have to cancel your subscription entirely.
Ready to delete a profile? Open Netflix on your TV or streaming device and highlight the profile you want to manage. Move down to select the Edit icon beneath it.
On the next page, select the Delete Profile button from the bottom.
That’s it! If you’d like, you can also adjust profile icons, names, maturity ratings, and more from here.
