If you're sure you're ready to leave Descript, you can permanently delete your account at any time. This guide walks you through what gets deleted, what to know beforehand, and how to complete the process.

What to know before deleting your account

• This action is permanent. You’ll lose access to all your projects, Drives, transcripts, and account history.
• Refund notice: Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription or trigger a refund. If you're eligible, contact support before deleting.
• If you return to Descript later, you’ll need to sign up as a new user.

What gets deleted

Deleting your account will permanently remove the following from Descript’s systems:

• All projects, compositions, and media — including anything shared with you by other Drive members.
  • Export anything you want to keep.
  • Transfer project ownership if you're part of a team Drive.
• All Drives owned by your email address.
• All transcripts. Download transcripts before deleting your account.
• Invoices and receipts — download them for your records.
• Your email address will be removed from marketing communications.
• Any active subscriptions — your plan will be canceled immediately, and unused time will be forfeited.
