Delete your account
Deletion is permanent. There is no deactivated state and no recovery window — the record is removed, not hidden.
In the app, which is instant
- Open Did You Mean.
- Go to Profile.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete my account.
- Type
DELETEto confirm.
If you have already uninstalled
You do not have an account in the usual sense: there is no email and no password. Your progress is tied to a random identifier your device generated on first launch, and uninstalling discards the device's copy of it. We have no way to work back from a person to an account, so we need that identifier — or something else that points at the same record — to act on a request.
Email info@didyoumean.dev with whichever of these you still have:
- Your account identifier, shown under your name on the Profile screen. If the app is still installed, copy it before uninstalling.
- The name shown on the leaderboard, plus roughly when you last played.
Reinstalling does not get the old account back — a fresh identifier is generated, and the app starts from zero. If that is all you wanted, there is nothing left to do.
What deletion removes
- The account record itself.
- Your streak, your completion history and your achievements.
- Every puzzle session, search and claim you made.
- Your places on the daily, weekly and all-time leaderboards.
- Everything the app stored on your device, including your personal bests.
Requests by email are handled by a person, so allow a few days. You will get a confirmation once it is done.
