eHarmony is an online dating service that helps connect singles. If you haven't had any luck on the site or are in a committed relationship, you may want to delete your account. To delete your account, you'll have to "close" your account first. From there, you can delete all of your information by contacting eHarmony directly via phone or email.

Look for a confirmation email. Your account must be closed first before you can request that eHarmony deletes all your information. Closing your account will make your profile unsearchable, but you'll be able to retrieve your profile information if you decide to use the site again in the future.

Deleting Your Account Information

1
Make sure that you want to delete all your information. If you decide that you want to use eHarmony again but have deleted your account, you'll have to reupload all your pictures, rewrite the content in your profile, and retake the questionnaire on the site. If you plan on using your profile in the future, you should just cancel your account rather than deleting it.^{[6]
