How to Delete a Profile on Netflix

Last Updated: September 22, 2020

This wikiHow teaches you how to delete a profile on Netflix if you're using a web browser on a computer, the mobile app, and a streaming device (like an Xbox or smart-stick). However, deleting a profile from an account is not the same as deleting your Netflix account and ending your paid subscription, which is explained more in How to Cancel Netflix.

Method 1 of 3:

Using a Streaming Device

1
Open Netflix. You should find this app on your Home screen. The language and steps may vary depending on your streaming device and service (like using an Xbox vs a Roku), but the steps are pretty similar.
2
Navigate to your Profile Selection screen. If you're logged in under a specific profile, you may need to log out of that profile so you see the Profile Selection screen.
- Your device may contain steps that are similar to the mobile app method instead. These steps would include navigating to your profile picture then selecting "Manage Profiles."
