How to Delete a Netflix Profile: Desktop, Mobile or TV (2022)

Each Netflix account can have a maximum of five profiles. Users can share their accounts with friends and family because they have distinct profiles. Other people create many profiles in order to get category suggestions for each one. This means you can have a profile dedicated solely to action movies, a horror movie profile, a children’s profile, and a guest profile.

Each profile can have unique settings, a profile picture, and a unique name. You can also set PIN locks and maturity levels for separate profiles on Netflix. One of the five profiles will be the primary profile, which will not be deleted unless your Netflix account is canceled.

If you’re wondering if removing your Netflix profile is the same as canceling your Netflix account, the answer is yes. No, when you delete a Netflix profile, you’ll lose all of the profile’s settings, preferences, and content recommendations. This has no bearing on the account’s settings in any manner. This means that the owners of the other profiles will be able to continue using their profiles as usual.

It’s worth noting that, even if you deactivate your entire account, Netflix will keep your account data for up to 10 months and can be recovered at any moment during that time. When it comes to Netflix profiles, though, there is no going back once you erase them. In this article, we’ll show you how to remove your Netflix profile on various platforms. Let’s get this party started!
