If you are a developer who has decided to part ways with Microsoft 365, deleting your developer account is a straightforward process. Whether you are looking to cancel your subscription or simply want to remove your account from the Microsoft ecosystem, this guide will walk you through the steps to delete your Microsoft 365 developer account.
Step 1: Log in to Your Microsoft Account
The first step in deleting your Microsoft 365 developer account is to log in to your Microsoft account. Go to the Microsoft account login page and enter your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by following the instructions provided on the login page.
Step 2: Navigate to the Microsoft Developer Center
Once you have logged in, navigate to the Microsoft Developer Center. This is where you will manage your developer account and subscriptions. You can access the Developer Center by visiting developer.microsoft.com and signing in with your Microsoft account.
Step 3: Go to the Account Settings
After logging in to the Developer Center, click on your account name in the upper-right corner of the page. This will open a dropdown menu. Select “Account settings” from the menu to access your account information.
Step 4: Manage Subscriptions
In the Account settings page, you will see a section titled “Subscriptions.” Click on “Manage” next to the Microsoft 365 subscription you want to delete. This will take you to a page where you can view and manage your subscriptions.
Step 5: Cancel the Subscription
On the subscription management page, you will find an option to cancel your subscription. Click on “Cancel” and follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation. Please note that canceling your subscription will not delete your Microsoft 365 developer account; it will only stop your subscription from being renewed.
Step 6: Delete Your Developer Account
To delete your Microsoft 365 developer account, you will need to contact Microsoft support. Go back to the Account settings page and click on “Contact support” at the bottom of the page. In the support request, explain that you want to delete your developer account and provide any necessary details.
Step 7: Wait for Confirmation
Once you have submitted your request to delete your developer account, you will need to wait for a response from Microsoft support. They will review your request and, if approved, will proceed with the deletion process. Once your account is deleted, you will no longer have access to the Microsoft 365 developer services.
Deleting your Microsoft 365 developer account is a simple process that involves canceling your subscription and contacting Microsoft support. By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition away from the Microsoft ecosystem.
