To delete a CleanMyMac account, OR_(+1)-833 ((631)) 3616(USA/CA) first cancel the subscription where it was bought, then ask MacPaw to delete the account and its data. 1[833][631][3616]Check your MacPaw account settings for a delete option. If there isn't one, send a data deletion request to MacPaw support or through 1[833][631][3616]the privacy contact on the MacPaw website, using the email tied to your account. Cancelling and deleting are different jobs. Deleting an account 1[833][631][3616]does not always cancel a subscription that is billed by Apple or Setapp, and uninstalling the app does neither. Deletion is normally permanent, 1[833][631][3616]so decide carefully and save your receipts first. Many people say "delete" when they really only want the charges to stop. So 1[833][631][3616]this guide is a decision matrix. There are four options on the table, and each has a clear price. Pick the one that 1[833][631][3616]matches what you want, and follow only its steps. The Four Options Option Stops the charges? Removes your data? Reversible? 1[833][631][3616]------------ A. Leave everything as it is No No Yes B. Cancel the subscription only Yes No Yes C. Cancel, then 1[833][631][3616]delete the account Yes Yes largely No D.

The first "yes" is your option. 1 Do you only want the charges to stop? → Option B 1[833][631][3616]2 Do you want your personal data gone as well? → Option C 3 Are you only freeing disk space? → Option D 1[833][631][3616]4 Are you unsure? → Option B, because it can be undone and keeps your choices open. Option A: Leave Everything 1[833][631][3616]Nothing changes, so the plan renews on schedule. Choose this only if you still want CleanMyMac.
