Delete your account
You can permanently delete your Otherwhere account, including all cloud-stored data, directly from the app.
From inside the app
- Open Otherwhere on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the Settings icon (top right of the home screen).
- Scroll to Account and tap Delete Account.
- Read the confirmation screen and tap Permanently Delete.
The deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.
What gets deleted
- Your account record (Apple ID / Google ID mapping, email, display name)
- All cloud-synced save metadata and save file backups
- Drafts and unpublished worlds
- Your entitlements record (subscription state on our side)
- Analytics and crash report identifiers tied to your account
Local saves on your device are wiped automatically on your next app launch after deletion.
What is not automatically deleted
- Your App Store subscription. Apple manages the subscription, not us. Cancel it at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions or from your iPhone's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Deleting your account does not refund or cancel an active subscription.
- Worlds you've already published to the catalog. Published worlds stay live so other players who are mid-play in them aren't disrupted. The link to your account is removed and the displayed creator name is replaced with an anonymous label — there is no path from the catalog back to your identity.
- Copies of any of your worlds already downloaded by other users. Once a world is in another player's library, we can't reach into their device to remove it.
Can't reach the in-app flow?
If you can't sign in, the app is broken, or you no longer have the device, email us at support@otherwhere.ai with:
- The email address on the Apple ID or Google account you used to sign in
- The approximate date you created the account, if you remember
- The display name you used in-app, if you set one
We will verify ownership (Apple ID round-trip), then process the deletion within 7 days.
